WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue swimming & diving teams open their home schedules with consecutive days of competition, hosting UIndy and the Kenyon divers for a traditional dual meet Friday plus teams from around the state for the annual Dan Ross Indiana Intercollegiate showcase Saturday.
Action is set for Friday at 5 p.m. and Saturday at noon. Admission is free for all regular-season meets at the Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center this season. Fans planning to attend Saturday should be aware of the road closures related to the Purdue Half Marathon and 5K races that morning. The half marathon features road closures on Stadium Avenue and the 5K course takes runners down Martin Jischke Drive and Third Street.
The Boilermakers' home-heavy schedule this season features five weekends of co-ed meets at the Burke Aquatic Center. The women also host the Big Ten Championships from Feb. 21-24.
UIndy is the opponent for the home opener again. The Greyhound men won the NCAA Division II national title and the women finished second nationally last season. They are currently ranked first and third in the initial CSCAA DII polls. Kenyon College is located in Gambier, Ohio, about 50 miles northeast of Columbus. In the CSCAA DIII preseason poll, the Owls are the No. 1-ranked women's team and No. 2 on the men's side. They both finished top three at nationals last year. Kenyon's Israel Zavaleta is a four-time NCAA champion, sweeping the springboard events the last two years, and is expected to be in attendance Friday.
A notable name has been added to Purdue's first large meet of the season. The in-state showcase Saturday will be known as the Dan Ross Indiana Intercollegiate going forward, with the moniker recognizing the longtime head coach of the Boilermakers who retired in June after 42 years as a staff member. Ross introduced the Indiana Intercollegiates meet for the 2001-02 season as the Boilermakers moved into the Burke Aquatic Center. For more than 20 years, Ross' inclusive philosophy has led to the meet annually featuring a bevy of Indiana-based teams of all sizes and divisions (NCAA and NAIA) – all competing alongside each other on an October Saturday at one of the state's premier facilities.
Former Purdue men's assistant coach J. Agnew (2008-18) as well as Purdue alumni Deb Thompson (1980-83) and Dave Mehrbrodt (1980-83) all return to campus Saturday. Agnew is in his sixth season as the head coach at Ball State. Thompson helped start the men's and women's programs at Bethel in time for the 2019-20 school year and has served as a professor at Bethel. Mehrbrodt is assistant coach at Bethel. Meanwhile, Keith Gill is also an assistant at Wabash after beginning his college career at Purdue in 2017-18.
Ball State, Bethel and Wabash are among the 10 visiting teams from around the state set to compete alongside the Boilermakers on Saturday. Southern Indiana is the new addition to the meet this season. Since its debut in October 2001, the Dan Ross Indiana Intercollegiate has been held every fall except 2020. It annually serves as the largest single-day home meet of the season for the Boilermakers.
