No. 5/7 Hoosiers Handle No. 17/16 Michigan
Â
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – No. 5/7 Indiana men’s and women’s swimming and diving improved their perfect dual meet records to 5-0 with wins over the No. 17/16 Michigan Wolverines Friday (Jan. 19) at Canham Natatorium in Ann Arbor.
The women’s result came down to the wire as IU trailed going into the 400 freestyle relay. Indiana’s quartet of junior Anna Peplowski, senior Ashley Turak sophomore Kristina Paegle and junior Ella Ristic outpaced Michigan in 3:16.68, to help make the final difference in the 152-148 victory. IU 400 free relay came into the day with a seed time 2.5 seconds slower than Michigan.
“Our women really showed a lot of heart, poise and toughness,†Looze said. “Michigan was ready to go. We knew they would be, and they’re a great team. They threw their best punches at us early in the meet. We really thought we would win the 200 medley, and, when we didn’t, we knew it was going to be tough. There were just a lot of points where we really could have rolled over, and the girls just wouldn’t let it happen.â€
IU couldn’t have done it without a dominant diving day, as the Hoosiers swept the springboards. Senior Anne Fowler captured both boards for the women, and Hoosiers took the top four spots on 1-meter and four of the top five positions on 3-meter. Fowler, junior Skyler Liu and freshmen Ella Roselli and Lily Witte all captured NCAA Zone Qualifying marks on each board.
“It was a great day for diving,” assistant diving coach Eric Best said. “We lit it up. Especially the sweep of the girls in that last event put the team over the top. It’s always nice when we can be in that situation and deliver.â€
“I’m super proud of the way we finished the meet,†Looze said. “It was remarkable with the divers sweeping the 1-meter, and Anna Freed got a super valuable second place. Reese Tiltmann got a fifth. We didn’t think we’d get much in that (200 IM) at all. And then our relay winning – their seed time was 2.5 seconds better than us, so I guess the girls didn’t remember that when they swam the relay. They just never gave up.
“I just told them it’s really pulling victory out of the jaws of defeat because with so few events remaining, a couple of them not good for us. They scored just enough points and all credit to them.â€
Junior Carson Tyler won both the 1-meter and 3-meter to lead the men’s team, setting a personal record 466.35 in a 1-2-3 finish in front of sophomore Dash Glasberg (349.80) and Maxwell Weinrich (322.73). Tyler’s 3-meter is the top mark in NCAA Division-I this season.
“He did well and had a few dives he could have done better,” Best said, “but that was a great list he put together. The real star of the day from the men’s side was probably Dash!”
Tyler was one of six different individual event winners in a 64-point men’s victory. Senior Brendan Burns led the way with three victories, sweeping the backstroke events and winning the 200 butterfly. Fellow senior Jassen Yep swept the breaststroke events, continuing his success during a season in which he holds the nation’s No. 1 time in the 200 (1:50.71) and the No. 4 mark in the 100 (51.49).
“Our guys won in pretty dominant fashion,†Looze said. “I would like to see our depth be a little bit better. There were a few key people we left home, but I wish the guys had a close meet too because the women really needed a close meet like that, and I think the guys do too. I think that’s coming here by the end of the month. It’s always great to come into Ann Arbor and get a couple victories because they’re traditionally one of the best programs in the Big Ten. So, we’re grateful.â€
