DUAL MEET INFORMATION
Purdue at Rutgers
Friday, Oct. 28 at 6 p.m. ET
Saturday, Oct. 29 at 10 a.m. ET
Rutgers Aquatics Center / Piscataway, New Jersey
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue women's swimming & diving competes on consecutive days for the third straight weekend to begin its season, making its first-ever trip to New Jersey for a two-day dual at Rutgers.
Similar to the Boilermakers' season-opening meet at Missouri, the teams will compete in 19 events over two days of action. Sessions are set for Friday at 6 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m.
The primary differences in the order of events vs. the Oct. 14 to 15 meet at Missouri are the relays. This weekend the 200s are paired together on Friday and the 400s Saturday. The breaststroke events have also flipped days.
Purdue has hosted Rutgers each of the last two seasons, including the Friday evening of Halloween Weekend last year. The Scarlet Knights competed at IUPUI the following morning before flying home.
EVENT WINNERS LAST SEASON VS. RUTGERS
• Kate Beavon – 500 & 1000 Free
• Maggie Love – 100 Breast & 200 IM
• Sophie McAfee – 1-Meter Diving
• Hannah Hill – 50 Free
• Masy Folcik – 200 Breast
• 200 Medley Relay Team – Love, Folcik, Turner & Hill
The Boilermakers have not had a full team meet (albeit without the divers) at what could be considered an East Coast locale since racing at the FIU Sprint Invitational in Miami in January 2020 as part of their winter training trip in Fort Lauderdale.
Later this season, Purdue also has Big Ten meets on the schedule in Champaign and Evanston. The Boilermakers have not competed in Evanston since January 2019 and have not been to Champaign since the Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center opened in August 2001. With Michigan hosting the Big Ten Championships, in February the Purdue women are also slated to make their first trip to Ann Arbor since 2016. This comes on the heels of the Boilermakers' only two road meets last season before the Big Ten Championships being in-state at Notre Dame and Indiana.
