WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Six event victories and eight national time standards for upcoming USA Swimming meets highlighted the annual Indiana Senior State Long Course Championships for Purdue swimming & diving.

At the July 13-16 summer showcase, held this year at the IU Natatorium in Downtown Indianapolis, Boilermaker Aquatics produced a combined 30 medalists. Boilermaker Aquatics placed third third in both the men's and women's scoring while ranking second overall in the combined totals.

Masy Folcik's career-best time of 1:10.09 while winning silver in the 100-meter breaststroke doubled as a 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials cut. She also qualified for the TYR Pro Championships, set for July 26-29 in Irvine, California.

Joining Folcik as qualifiers for the national meet later this month included Kelsey Cooper (200m back), Hannah Hill (50m free), Raymond Whittaker (100m & 200m breast), Dylan Burau (200m back), Coleman Modglin (200m breast) and incoming transfer Max Blume (100m Breast).

Whittaker, Modglin and Blume teamed up for a 1-2-3 finish in the men's 200-meter breaststroke (Modglin competed for the Zionsville Swim Club). The women duplicated the feat in the 200-meter freestyle, with Kendra Bowen teaming up with Reagan Mattice and Kali Sayovitz for the 1-2-3. Cooper accounted for the other individual victory with a win in the 200-meter backstroke.

Boilermaker Aquatics won three of the four women's relays in which it had an entry – sweeping the medley relays plus another victory in the 200 free relay. Ana Rojas, Cecilie Wiuff, Bowen and Folcik were all part of multiple relay winners.

Aaron Frollo enjoyed another strong showing at Senior State. While racking up 4,300 meters (2.67 miles) of live racing action across five individual events, the rising senior won four medals (3 silver, 1 bronze) and finished top six in all of his events. Mattice (2 silver, 1 bronze) won three medals while finishing top four in four of her events, logging 3,700 meters (2.30 miles) of live racing.

Andy Kelly finished top 10 in four individual events and also qualified for the A final of the 100-meter free before scratching the event to focus on the 20-meter back, in which he won silver. Griffin Poulsen, Maggie Love, Gabe Eschbach, Modglin and Whittaker all accounted for three top-10 individual finishes. Modglin also helped the Zionsville Swim Club sweep the men's medley relays.

Incoming freshman Brody Friend (Indianapolis/North Central HS/Washington Township Swim Club) was recognized as the male recipient of Indiana Swimming's Gene Lee Outstanding Swimmer of the Year award, which honors a graduating one graduating senior of each gender for outstanding achievement in swimming, academics, community service and leadership.
