A notable name was added to Purdue's first large meet of the season in the summer of 2023. The in-state showcase is now known as the Dan Ross Indiana Intercollegiate, with the moniker recognizing the longtime head coach of the Boilermakers who retired in June 2023 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) competing alongside each other on an October Saturday at one of the state's premier facilities.
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. This year's Oct. 12 date is the earliest the meet has been held since 2009 (Oct. 10). It was on Oct. 13 in 2018.
Purdue seniors Brady Samuels and Maggie Love have won an event at the Indiana Intercollegiate each of the last three years, demonstrating their versatility in the process. Juniors Daryn Wright (springboard sweep both years), Brinly Hardy (100 fly both years) and Andy Kelly (100 back in 2022, 100 free in 2023) did likewise as underclassmen.
The Boilermakers' only other home meet this semester will be the three-day Purdue Invitational the weekend of Nov. 21-23. Instead, they'll travel to Missouri (co-ed), Louisville (men) and Rutgers (women) for dual meets in the coming weeks. The Purdue Swimmers opened their season Oct. 4 at the Be Better Invitational in Holland, Michigan.
