Mattice Wins 1500m Free at Indy Summer Cup

INDIANAPOLIS – Reagan Mattice and Adele Sands teamed up for a 1-2 finish in the 1500-meter freestyle and 2-3 finish in the 800 free, headlining the Purdue swimmers’ eight top-five finishes for Boilermaker Aquatics at the three-day Indy Summer Cup contested the final weekend of June at the IU Natatorium.

Including incoming Boilermakers, Purdue was represented by the 26 competitors at the star-studded long course showcase. Numerous Boilermakers qualified for events at the TYR Summer Championships, set for Aug. 5-8 in Irvine, Calif.

Mattice led the way with her victory in the 1500 and runner-up showing in the 800, posting lifetime bests in both distance events. Sands was a top-three finisher in both races and also an A finalist in both the 200- free and 400-meter freestyle.

Kate Mouser joined Mattice and Sands with a pair of top-five finishes, headlined by third-place showing in the 400-meter individual medley. Caitlin Hurley was top 10 in all four of her events – racing in the 100 through 800 free.

Keira Kask was an A finalist in both butterfly events and also finished 12th in the prelims of the 100-meter backstroke before declining her second swim.

Purdue is also planning to have swimmers in attendance at the Speedo Sectionals (July 17-20 in Columbus, Ohio) and USA Swimming Futures Championships (July 23-26 with five locations) as the long course season continues through July.
