Purdue Men and Women at No. 4/21 Indiana

Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue swimming & diving teams are next up in the Governor's Cup rivalry series with Indiana, visiting the Hoosiers' familiar pool for the annual Saturday morning dual meet.
The 16-event dual begins at the customary 11 a.m. ET at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center in Bloomington. That's an aquatics center where selected members of the women's team raced four times from June 2018 through February 2019.
Indiana Athletics is offering a pay-per-view video webcast produced by BTN Student U at BTNplus.com and the BTN+ app.
A year after the IU women hosted the Big Ten Championships, the Hoosier men have the honor this season. It makes for a very easy travel schedule for the Purdue men this semester. Yes, the divers visit Lexington in March for the NCAA Zone C Championships, but otherwise all of men's meets are in-state. The men's Big Ten Championships are set for Feb. 26 to 29 in Bloomington and the men's NCAA Championships return to the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis a month later (March 25-28). The women's championship meets are in Iowa City (Feb. 19-22) and Athens, Georgia (March 18-21) this year.
Platform diving will once again be a featured scoring event at the annual Indiana-Purdue dual. It takes the place of 3-meter, which will still be contested as a non-scoring exhibition. The Purdue men have a five-year win streak on the tower in dual meet action vs. the Hoosiers. Purdue diving coach Adam Soldati's birthday is Saturday. He'll have a chance to celebrate it at his alma mater; Soldati graduated from IU in 1997.
The other change in the dual format is in the individual medley. The teams have agreed to race in the 400 IM instead of the 200.
Maizie Seidl was victorious in the 200 freestyle vs. Indiana at last season's Senior Day meet at the Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center. Nick McDowell won the 1,000 free in Bloomington two years ago.
Trent Pellini's time of 51.81 in the 100 breaststroke at the Purdue Invitational in November continues to rank fifth best nationally. It remains the fastest time from a meet other than the Minnesota Invitational (Dec. 4-7).
PURDUE'S NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS AT IU'S COUNSILMAN-BILLINGSLEY AQUATICS CENTER
• February 2019 – Emily Meaney wins bronze on the platform while scoring in all three diving events, emerging as Purdue's top scorer by accounting for 52 team points at the Big Ten Championships in Bloomington. Jinq En Phee helps the Boilermakers' 200 and 400 medley relay teams establish program records for the second year in a row. In their swan songs at Big Tens, Taite Kitchel (100 Fly) and Jackie Smailis (200 Back) add program records to their résumés en route to finishing their careers as the fastest Boilermakers ever in both butterfly/backstroke events.
• November 2018 – Jade Knueppel (50 Free) and Tessa Wrightson (100 Back) eclipse Purdue freshman records at the IU Invitational. Wrightson breaks the record again at the Boiler-Make-It NCAA last chance meet again in March. Knueppel, meanwhile, took down a 50 free mark that had stood since 2012.
• July 2018 – Four Boilermakers, including Nick McDowell (400m Free) and Natalie Mudd (200m Back), win events at the annual Indiana Senior State Championships, which were held in Bloomington that summer. Gretta DeCoursey, Gabi Gomez Treig, Megan Johnson, Courtney Kresl, Maizie Seidl, Dale Williams and Mudd were also part of Boilermaker Aquatics' relay winners.
• March 2017 – All eight of Purdue's divers, including Meaney as a freshman, qualified for the NCAA Championships with their performances at the Zone C Championships in Bloomington.
• February 2013 – The men's Big Ten Championships return to Bloomington this year. The last time IU hosted the men's meet seven years ago, Danny Tucker starred for the Boilermakers. He won silver in both freestyle sprints, establishing a program record in the 100 free (42.84) that still stands. Tucker swam the leadoff leg on Purdue's 200 free relay team that posted an A Cut to qualify for the NCAA Championships, where the quartet would honorable mention All-America accolades for the second year in a row. In the diving well, Jamie Bissett won bronze on the tower. Bissett and Tucker shared top-scoring honors with 34 team points apiece (before C finalists produced points at Big Tens).
FOUR BOILERMAKERS IN 18 & UNDER WORLD 100 RANKINGS
• Current Boilermakers Mallory Jump (1:01.04, 100m Fly) and Sylvia Kobylak (2:32.54, 200m Breast) as well as future Boilermakers Coleman Modglin (2:17.48, 200m Breast) and Hayley Pike (8:49.34, 800m Free) were all among the 18 & Under World 100 rankings unveiled this week by USA Swimming. Swimmers had to be 18 and under on Sept. 2, 2019 to qualify for the lists and only long course events were featured. Modglin (Zionsville, Indiana) and Pike (Bentonville, Arkansas) were among Purdue's National Letter of Intent signees in November.
