HOOSIERS HEADED TO DOHA WITH TEAM USA

Six Hoosiers have officially claimed Team USA roster spots ahead of the 2024 World Aquatics Championships set to run February 2-18 in Doha, Qatar.

Four Indiana divers – juniors Carson Tyler and Quinn Henninger and alumni Andrew Capobianco and Jessica Parratto – earned berths with performances at USA Diving Winter National Championships in December. Also last month, USA Swimming named junior Mariah Denigan to it open water team for the world games, while IU associate head coach Cory Chitwood will serve as the open water team’s head coach in Doha.

HOOSIERS COLLECT FIVE OF SIX BIG TEN WEEKLY AWARDS

For the first time in nine years, Indiana men’s and women’s swimming combined for five of the six available Big Ten weekly awards in a cycle, the conference announced Wednesday (Jan. 24). The haul includes sweeps of the men’s honors as well as the swimmer and diver of the week awards.

Oct. 14, 2014, was the last cycle that Indiana had five weekly award winners. Anze Tavcar, James Connor, Ali Khalafalla, Brooklyn Snodgrass and Kennedy Goss all secured honors after they led IU to season-opening wins over Auburn. IU athletes have combined for 11 swimming and diving awards this season. All five Hoosiers featured this week are previous award winners, though four earned the honor for the first time this season.

Last Friday (Jan. 19), the No. 5/7 Hoosiers defeated No. 17/16 Michigan at the Wolverines’ home pool in Ann Arbor. The men dominated U-M 182-118, while the women showed grit to triumph 152-148; a result decided by wins in the last two events – the 400-yard freestyle relay and 1-meter diving.
