WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A freshman and a senior earned the final berths on Purdue men's swimming & diving's travel roster for the Big Ten Championships, as Ryan Hrosik and Eddy Zawatski excelled in the sprints at the two-day First Chance meet vs. Indiana.
Hrosik broke 20 seconds in the 50 freestyle, moving into ninth place in program history with an NCAA provisional qualifying time (B Cut) of 19.91. It also ranked as a team season best. The freshman raced in the 100 butterfly (48.12) and 100 free (45.08) as well. He moved into 13th place in program history in the 100 fly.
Zawatski posted personal season-best times of 20.43 and 45.11 in the 50 and 100 free.
Led by freshman Brady Robinson, six other Boilermakers registered personal season bests that rank among the top five on the team this season. Robinson accomplished the feat in three events. He and Luke Ingram finished in a rare dead heat (4:00.36) in the 400 IM in the finals session Saturday evening.
