ROSEMONT, Ill. – Purdue swimming & diving earned a trio of Big Ten weekly awards based on performances during the season-opening weekend, headlined by a sweep of the Freshman of the Week honors.
Greg Duncan was recognized as the Big Ten Diver of the Week, marking the second time in his career he was won the award. Keelan Hart and Mallory Jump teamed up for the Freshman of the Week sweep.
In her collegiate debut, Jump was the lone female student-athlete to win multiple individual events at the Indiana Intercollegiates. She was victorious in the 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly while also swimming the butterfly leg on Purdue's victorious 200 medley relay team to open the 11-team meet. She had the best 50 fly split (24.80) in the race.
Hart won the 100 freestyle and was part of three other top-three showings. Duncan was victorious in 3-meter diving with a strong season-opening score of 361.25. He bested the top non-Purdue diver by 120 points.
Hart (200 free) and Jump (200 back) also won events at Friday's Black & Gold Intrasquad meet, but those results were not considered for the Big Ten's weekly awards program since the Boilermakers did not compete against another university.
Purdue is back in action Friday when it hosts nationally ranked Notre Dame at 5 p.m. ET for a co-ed dual.
