BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Two breaststroke swimmers with ties to Indiana swimming and diving were named to USA Swimming’s 2022 Duel in the Pool roster on Tuesday (July 19).
IU senior Mackenzie Looze and Indiana Swim Club’s Annie Lazor each earned selections ahead of the competition, an international meet between Team USA and Australia set for August 19-21 in Sydney, Australia. This year’s event will be the first rendition of the competition since 2015.
Lazor competed for Team USA earlier this summer at the 2022 FINA World Championships, where she finished 13th in the 50-meter breaststroke (30.89). At the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Lazor earned a bronze medal in the 200-meter event.
Looze had strong performances in the world championships qualifying event, the Phillips 66 International Team Trials, in April. She reached the A final in all four events she swam and earned top-five finishes in the 200 IM (2:13.28) and 400 IM (4:44.95). A five-time All-American, Looze has qualified for the NCAA Championships in each of her four seasons at IU.
