0

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The No. 17-ranked Indiana University women’s swimming and diving team captured the program’s sixth Big Ten Championship on Saturday night at the Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center in Bloomington, Ind.

Indiana captured the team’s first league crown for the first time in 2011 with a total score of 1,386.5 points. No. 2-ranked Michigan finished second with 1,302.5 points, while No. 22 Ohio State was third with a total of 1,162.5. The 1,386.5 points are the most for the Hoosiers in Big Ten Championships history.

Over the course of the 2019 Big Ten Women’s Championships, the Hoosiers won a total of 14 medals – seven gold, one silver, and six bronze. Earning First-Team All-Big Ten honors for the Hoosiers were Bailey Anderson, Christine Jensen, Lilly King, Shelby Koontz, Jessica Parratto and Morgan Scott.

Indiana’s Lilly King made even more history on Saturday night, becoming the first woman in conference history to win the Big Ten title in the 200 breaststroke four-straight seasons, winning with an NCAA A cut time of 2:05.14.

King, who won four titles this week with the Hoosiers, finishes her Big Ten career as a 16-time conference champion and is the only woman in league history to win eight breaststroke titles.

Also in the Championship Final, freshman Noelle Peplowski had a career-best performance, winning bronze with a PR of 2:07.75. Senior Bailey Anderson was sixth with a personal-best time of 2:08.04, while classmate Laura Morley was eighth in 2:09.45.

Bailey Kovac led four Hoosiers in the B Final of the 200 breasts, winning with a time of 2:10.66. Abby Kirkpatrick was fourth with a career-best time of 2:11.59, while Mackenzie Atencio was seventh with a PR of 2:12.30. Freshman Mackenzie Looze was eighth in a time of 2:13.33.

 The Big Ten Diver of the Championships, Jessica Parratto made the most of her final home meet, winning her fourth league title in the platform dive with a CBAC pool record score of 394.40. Parratto was incredible throughout her list, scoring 84.80 on each of her final dives and no less than 72.00 on any other.

Parratto is a five-time Big Ten champion after winning gold in the 1-meter dive on Thursday. The Dover, N.H. native also took bronze in the 3-meter on Friday.

Earlier in the B Final, Taylor Carter placed seventh with a score of 249.00. Carter was a great asset for the Hoosiers this week, scoring in all three events.

 In the 400 freestyle relay, the Indiana team of Morgan Scott, Christine Jensen, Shelby Koontz, and Bailey Anderson won the bronze with a school record and NCAA A cut time of 3:14.32.

Cassy Jernberg led a quartet of Hoosier distance swimmers in the 1,650 freestyle, winning bronze with a time of 15:57.25.

Freshman Maggie Wallace cut nearly 11 seconds off her previous career-best to take sixth place with a time of 16:08.32, while Josie Grote just missed the podium, taking ninth in a personal-best time of 16:07.10. Christin Rockway placed 12th overall with a time of 16:24.43.

 Once again, freshman Morgan Scott had a clutch swim for the Hoosiers, placing fourth overall in the Championship Final of the 100 freestyle with a career-best time of 48.84.

In the B Final, Julia Wolf placed third with a personal-best mark of 49.35, while Laurel Eiber was sixth in 49.92. In the C Final, Grace Haskett was second with a time of 49.77, while Maria Paula Heitmann was eighth in 50.59.

Shelby Koontz led the Hoosiers in the 200 butterflies, placing sixth in the Championship Final with a time of 1:57.54. In the B Final, senior Christine Jensen was fifth with a mark of 1:58.37.

Over the course of the Big Ten Championships, the Hoosiers recorded some impressive accolades. Indiana broke one American record, one NCAA record, one Big Ten record, four school records, six pool records, and two Big Ten Meet records.

IU also amassed nine NCAA A cuts, 85 NCAA B cuts and had 67 career-best performances.

EPD REPORT

Indiana House passes $34.6B budget along party lines

0

Lindsey Erdody for www.theindianalawyer.com

The Indiana House on Monday passed a $34.6 billion two-year budget along party lines.

The budget, authored by House Republicans, includes an additional $286 million per year requested by the Indiana Department of Child Services, covers increases in Medicaid costs, and hikes K-12 spending by 2.1 percent in fiscal year 2020 and 2.2 percent in 2021 — slightly more than the annual increase suggested by Gov. Eric Holcomb.

Under the proposal, K-12 funding would be $7.31 billion in fiscal year 2020 and $7.47 billion in fiscal year 2021. Plus, the budget calls for spending $150 million in surplus funds to pay off a teacher pension liability that schools have been gradually paying down. The one-time payment is expected to save schools $70 million per year.

None of the extra money is required to go to teacher paychecks, although that’s what Holcomb and House Republicans are recommending.

The budget, which passed 65-32, heads to the Senate for consideration and amendments.

Rep. Todd Huston, one of the key budget writers this year, emphasized the education investment during remarks on the House floor Monday.

But Democrats have criticized the budget for not specifically allocating dollars for teacher pay.

House Democrats tried to make changes to the proposed budget Thursday, introducing 27 amendments and debating the legislation for more than three hours, but Republicans shot down almost all of the proposals.

House Speaker Brian Bosma criticized Democrats on Thursday evening, saying the suggestions would add more than $1 billion in spending to the budget.

“I’m proud of my team for standing firm even though they’re tough votes,” Bosma said.

On Monday, Democratic Rep. Greg Porter of Indianapolis refuted Bosma’s comments, saying Democrats offered other streams of revenue, too. They called for stopping or delaying the scheduled phaseout of some corporate tax cuts. They also suggested looking at other ways to use the $1 billion the state is set to receive from the Indiana Toll Road rate increase.

“Our checkbook does have money,” Porter said. “We’re not that low-income.”

The budget plan that advanced Monday would have a surplus of about $63 million in fiscal year 2020 and $55 million in fiscal year 2021.

“This budget is financially responsible,” Huston said.

Porter said the budget could have done a lot more to address issues such as pre-kindergarten funding and school safety.

“But it’s your budget,” Porter said of Republicans, who control a super-majority in the chamber. “It’s what you want to give to the state of Indiana. It’s what you want to send over to the Senate.”

Rep. Cherrish Pryor, D-Indianapolis, criticized the budget for not doing enough to help middle class families.

“There’s nothing in the budget that’s going to help Hoosier working families,” Pryor said.

But Huston defended the budget for being fiscally responsible and making the right investments.

“When you craft a budget, you have to make tough decisions,” Huston said.

0

After 18 holes, the Aces sit just eight strokes back of tournament host and leader Alabama State, who finished the opening round with a team score of 298.

Leading Evansville, freshmen Dallas Koth and Tyler Roat each tallied a team-best two-over 74, placing them in a tie for sixth after the first round. Another Aces duo tied following the opening round as sophomores Spencer Wagner and Jessie Brumley carded first-round 77s as the two finished the first round in a tie for 14th.

A stroke back of Wagner and Brumley, senior Noah Reese finished with a six-over 78, good-enough to place Reece in a tie for 16th. Competing as individuals, junior Robert Waggoner (81) and senior Gabe Rohleder (84) completed the opening round tied for 29th and 35th, respectively.

The Aces take to the course for the final round of competition at Lagoon Park Golf Course on Tuesday.
