Indiana’s Goss Earns Weekly Big Ten Honor

CHICAGO – Indiana University women’s swimmer Kennedy Goss was named Big Ten Co-Swimmer of the Week on Wednesday, the league office announced.

The honor is the first this season and the first in her career for Goss. The junior is the third Hoosier to earn Big Ten honors this year, as Lilly King and Blake Pieroni were named Swimmers of the Week on Oct. 27.

The junior won two events last week in helping the No. 12-ranked Hoosiers beat both Kentucky and Tennessee in a tri-meet. The bronze medalist in the 4×200 freestyle relay for Canada at the Rio Summer Olympics touched first in both the 200 free (1:48.63) and 500 free (4:50.59).

The Toronto, Ontario native also finished second in the 200 backstroke with a time of 1:57.63 and fourth in the 400 freestyle relay (3:28.15).

The Indiana men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will be back in action on Saturday, Nov. 5 when the teams host Michigan State for a dual meet at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center. The meet is scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m. ET.
