HOOSIER DUO RECEIVERS BIG TEN WEEKLY AWARDS (NOV. 15)
Indiana swimming and diving senior Jassen Yep was named the Big Ten Swimmer of the Week, and Ahmed Hafnaoui was picked the Big Ten Freshman of the Week via announcement from the conference office on Nov. 1. Yep and Hafnaoui each swept their disciplines in IU’s dominant wins over No. 10 Auburn and No. 20 Missouri, as the men’s and women’s teams have each started the season 3-0 in dual meet action.
Yep won the breaststroke events, posting times well under the NCAA B cut standards. Yep’s 1:54.71 in the 200-yard breaststroke ranks No. 4 in the country this season and No. 1 in the Big Ten. In the 100 breast, he dropped the sixth-best time nationally in 52.78, just .78 seconds off his personal-best time set at the 2023 NCAA Championships where he placed 21st nationally last season. Additionally, his 24.22 split in the 200-yard medley relay was the fastest of any competitor.
Hafnaoui also posted a pair of the nation’s top time in his first short-course yards meet as a Hoosier. Sweeping the distance events, his 8:55.74 in the 1,000-yard freestyle ranks No. 3 in the country, and his 4:18.62 500 free sits No. 6.
