DUAL MEET INFORMATION
Purdue Men and Women at Notre Dame
Friday, Oct. 22 at 5 p.m. ET
Rolfs Aquatic Center / South Bend, Indiana
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The lone road trip of the fall semester for the Purdue swimming & diving teams is a short one as the Boilermakers travel north to South Bend for a co-ed dual with Notre Dame on Friday.
Action begins at 5 p.m. ET at UND's Rolfs Aquatic Center, where the Boilermakers have not competed since October 2018. A traditional 16-event dual is planned for Friday with the default events, including the 200 medley and 400 free relays, 200 individual medley and springboard diving.
The Notre Dame women were ranked No. 25 in the CSCAA preseason poll while the Purdue men and Notre Dame men were each receiving votes.
Purdue swept a co-ed dual in November 2014 for its last victories in South Bend. After the Boilermakers enjoyed a strong stretch in the annual series from 2007-08 through 2015-16, the Fighting Irish have turned the tables in recent years and swept the last four co-ed duals.
South Bend native and Saint Joseph High School product Evie Sierra headlines Purdue's current group of student-athletes that hail from Northern Indiana and the Region. As a freshman last season, Sierra earned a place among the program's all-time leaderboard with a career-best time of 2:00.52 in the 200 butterfly at the Big Ten Championships.
After Friday, the Boilermakers' next three meets are at home. A Nov. 5 triple dual vs. Michigan and Missouri and the three-day Purdue Invitational (Nov. 18-20) headline the upcoming home meets. The divers travel to Bloomington in mid-December for the USA Diving Winter Nationals, which stands as the only other road trip of the fall semester.
