BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana swimming and diving junior Miranda Grana’s program record 200-yard butterfly swim highlighted a complete performance, as the Hoosiers defeated Cincinnati in its final dual meet of the fall semester Friday (Dec. 5) inside the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center.
Already the school standard setter in the 100-yard backstroke (49.62), 200-yard backstroke (1:48.73) and 100-yard butterfly (49.98), Grana added the 200 fly to her collection Friday. Grana blew away the field with a 1:53.25, the only time under two minutes. That time toppled Gia Dalesandro’s eight-year-old record (1:53.67) set at the 2017 Big Ten Championships. Friday’s swim marked Grana’s first-career swim of the event in yards.
Grana was one of eight Hoosiers to win multiple individual events – also capturing the 200 IM in 2:00.24 – as the Hoosiers won all but one event.
Sophomore Raekwon Noel led the way with three victories despite competing outside his routine program. Noel set personal bests in the 100-yard freestyle (42.86), 200-yard freestyle (1:35.33) and 200 IM (1:46.25) and helped IU win the 200 medley relay.
Six freshmen contributed victories to the team win. In the 1,000 free, rookies Luci Gutierrez (9:54.97) and Luke Ellis (8:56.41) combined to sweep the event. David Kovacs swept the backstroke events with times of 48.19 and 1:44.03, and Grace Hoeper won both the 200 free (1:46.20) and 100 fly (53.46).
Indiana diving swept the springboards. Senior Maxwell Weinrich and sophomore Joshua Sollenberger traded first-and-second-place finishes on the 1-meter and 3-meter, respectively, while junior Ella Roselli won both boards on the women’s side.
