Aces Swimming And Diving Finishes Fall Slate
Swimming and diving closed out the fall season this afternoon with a matchup against Missouri State.
The both men and women fell to the Bears: the women 133-108, and the men 131-89.
“It was a very, very fun meet. I was really happy with the way we raced, the way we competed,” said head coach Rickey Perkins. “It’s been a difficult week of training; we trained this morning really hard, trained yesterday really hard, but we still stepped up and raced. That’s what I’m really proud of. Our goal is always to see how good we are against everybody we compete with. Not necessarily about them, but about us and our ability to give our very best, day in and day out.”
Junior Danielle Freeman shone once again for the Aces with a victory in the 50 freestyle, her time a 24.53. Freshman Emma Hennessy snagged third with a 25.59.
Sophomore Kristen Myers outtouched Missouri State’s Sara Bacher in the 200 IM. Her time of 2:10.48 carried her to the first place spot. Additionally, she took second place in the 100 butterfly with a 59.13.
Other notable performances include senior Michaela Kent’s second in the 100 freestyle with a 53.33. She was followed by sophomore Madi Jones in third with 54.44. Jones also clock in at 1:56.38 for second place. Freshmen Kristy Kupfer and Ashton Adams took second and third in the 1000 freestyle with 10:59.51 and 11:07.98 respectively. Kupfer took another second place in the 500 freestyle with a 5:22.34.
The women ended their night with a victory in the 200 freestyle relay. Sophomore Sam Gowdy, Kent, Myers, and Freeman defeated Missouri State with a final time of 1:38.76.
The men showed a consistent performance as both relays took home second place finishes. Junior Dan O’Brien, senior Everett Plocek, freshmen Paul Cozzens, and sophomore Jared Sutphin scored a 1:36.66 in the 200 Medley Relay. In the 200 Freestyle Relay, sophomore Matt Duke, O’Brien, freshman Brandt Hudson, and sophomore Blake Wheeler clocked in at 1:28.17.
Individually, O’Brien took the 100 backstroke in a 52.61. Cozzens showed consistency of his own tonight; he posted a 1:56.76 in the 200 IM for second place. He took second again in the 100 butterfly with his 52.89 efforts, a season best. Junior Prescott Marcy and sophomore Andrew Schroeder came next in third and fourth with 54.43 and 55.94 respectively.
Sutphin clocked in at 48.24 in the 100 freestyle, just shy of a first place finish. Fellow Aces took the rest of the race: sophomore Matt Duke at a 49.58 and junior Gabe James at a 50.52. Hudson took a pair of third place finishes in his lineup. He touched in with a 1:46.03 in the 200 freestyle and a 4:52.84 in the 500 freestyle.

Vice President-Elect Governor Mike Pence Signs Certification of Indiana’s Electors
Marks Historic Moment As The First Indiana Governor in 104 Years To Certify Electors Who Will Vote For Him As Vice President Of The United States
Indianapolis – Today, Vice President-elect Governor Mike Pence signed the certification of Indiana’s 11 electors who will cast their electoral votes for President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence on December 19. Vice President-elect Governor Mike Pence is the first Indiana governor in 104 years to certify electors who will vote for him as vice president of the United States. In 1912, Indiana Governor Thomas R. Marshall, vice president-elect with Woodrow Wilson, certified the very electors that voted for him and Woodrow Wilson when the electoral college convened.
The law requires the Governor to sign these documents in order to certify each of Indiana’s electors. Each governor is required by law to certify the electors from their respective state for each presidential election. Secretary of State Connie Lawson’s office delivered the official, original copies for the Governor’s certification of the “duly elected (and now) appointed Electors for President and Vice President of the United States in and for the State of Indiana.†Governor Pence’s office has returned the signed documents to the Secretary of State’s office.
