BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – No. 7/9 Indiana swimming and diving will compete in its final dual meet of the season when it visits No. 17/6 Louisville on Friday (Jan. 27) inside Ralph Wright Natatorium. The meet is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. ET and can be streamed on the ACC Network+ digital platform.

In last year’s meet, the Hoosiers and Cardinals split in Bloomington, with IU’s men earning the victory. The No. 9-ranked IU women will hope to change their script in their rematch with the No. 6 Louisville ladies.

Indiana is set for its third meet in as many weeks this spring after defeating Big Ten opponents Michigan and Purdue over the last two weeks. The Cardinals split their meet with Kentucky last weekend, with the men winning, 200-96, and the women falling, 168-132.

OF NOTE…

Tyler Named Big Ten Diver of the Week

IU sophomore Carson Tyler earned his first Big Ten Diver of the Week award this season after his showing in IU’s win over Purdue. The honor marks Tyler’s fourth-career weekly honor as he was named diver of the week twice and freshman of the week once during his debut season in 2021-22. Tyler is the third different IU men’s diver to earn the award this season, following redshirt senior Andrew Capobianco last week and fellow sophomore Quinn Henninger twice previously. Between swimming and diving, the Hoosiers have totaled 12 Big Ten weekly awards over four different cycles.

Tyler won the men’s platform diving competition on Saturday as IU divers won three of four events contested in men’s and women’s team dual meet victories at Purdue. The sophomore showed consistency in his performance with all six dives earning at least 60 points, including four dives worth at least 70 points. His six-dive total score of 423.80 sits as the best mark in the country this season. His teammate, Henninger, holds the second-best mark at 416.55, scored at the Ohio State Invitational.
