Swimming & Diving Takes Down Pair of In-State Foes

INDIANAPOLIS – After a well-fought road split against McKendree Friday, the UIndy swimming & diving teams were dominant at home Saturday, as the top-ranked men's team defeated Wabash, 153-70, and the No. 4 Greyhound women earned their third-straight dual win against Butler, 143-84.
 
The Hounds won 17 of the 28 events today, with the big highlight being All-American Kaitlyn McCoy setting the pace in the 400 IM both for the team and in the nation, with her B-cut time of 4:25.6 good for fastest in Division II so far this young season.
 
Emilia Colti-Dumitrescu and Andrea Gomez also were able to position themselves in the top five nationally in the 400 IM, with Espinosa's 4:27:76 good enough for a B-cut and the fourth spot in DII while Colti-Dumitrescu earned a B-cut and the third rank nationally with a 4:27.71.
 
Dumitrescu also improved her 500 free B time by two seconds for a new season best of 5:00:63.
 
Improvements also came from Mia Krstevska and Caroine Reinke. The North Macedonia-native Krstevska improved her season time in the 200 freestyle with a 1:57.5 while Reinke improved in the 100 butterfly with her 58.7 good for fifth this season for the Greyhounds.
 
On the men's side, multiple swimmers improved their times, with the biggest improvement belonging to Liki Prema. Prema shaved more than a half a second off his B standard in the 100 breaststroke, with his 54.05 time placing him at No. 1 in the nation.
 
Jeron Thompson improved his B-cut with a season-best 45.01 in the 100 freestyle, while Christian Hedeen set a team-best time with a 4:11.00 in his 400 IM debut. In his first 200 freestyle heat this season, Serge Ahadzhanian's time of 1:39.4 was good for a B-cut, as well as the second fastest on the team this season and fifth-fastest nationally.
 
On the diving side, All-American Julio Osuna continued his impressive form on the boards. Following up his record-breaking performance on Friday, Osuna swept Saturday with scores of 256.87 in the 3-meter dive and 368.92 on the 1-meter board.
