TOLEDO, Ohio—The UIndy swimming & diving teams competed at two different meets Saturday afternoon. Part of the roster went to the University of Toledo, while another faction competed against Valpo and Wabash in Crawfordsville, Ind.
 
The action was highlighted by a pair of fresh school records, included one that broke one of the oldest marks in the UIndy annals.
 
FINAL SCORES
Women at Toledo
Toledo 170, UIndy 128
 
Women at Wabash
UIndy 129, Valparaiso 129
 
Men at Wabash
UIndy 178, Wabash 114
UIndy 156, Valparaiso 104
 
AT TOLDEO
Some of UIndy's fastest swimmers, as well as the team's divers, headed to Toledo, Ohio to take Division I Toledo (women only) and Findlay. However, the latter could not make it to the meet and thus the UIndy men were unable to count their times for NCAA qualification purposes.
 
As a result, the men were left with few ways to post remarkable times. Nevertheless, Mihir Ambre was able to etch his name in the UIndy top-10 lists. The graduate transfer posted a winning time of 47.66 in the 100 butterfly, good for the No. 7 spot in the school's annals.
 
The top two times came from the UIndy women, however, with a pair of school records falling in the process.

Junior Andrea Gomez continued a breakout junior campaign with an impressive time in the 1000 free. Her name could already be found all over the UIndy top-10 lists, but in her first-ever 1000 race, the versatile Spaniard posted a winning time of 9:58.43, displacing one of the oldest records in the book—Maura Donohue's 9:59.61 from 2011.
 
Meanwhile, grad-transfer Stefanie Markwardt also pulled off an historic performance, as her first-place swim in the 100 fly netted a school-record time of 54.45 as well an improved B-cut status.
 
Both women now rank second in Division II in their respective aforementioned event.
 
Celina Schmidt won both the 100 and 200 breaststrokes, Sharon Semchiy trimmed her top-10 time in the 200 fly to 2:04.13, while reigning GLVC Athlete of the Week Brynhildur Traustadottir won the 500 and also upped her B-cut status in the 200 free with a second-place time of 1:51.45.
 
All-American diver Alexis Lumaj took second in the women's 3-meter dive and third on the 1-meter.
 
AT WABASH
The balance of the team made the shorter, in-state trek to Crawfordsville, Ind., to face off with host Wabash College (men only) and Valparaiso. The Greyhound men won both of their duals, while the UIndy women tied with DI Valpo.
 
UIndy swept the breaststroke races, with Sydney Brandt and Mohamed amad winning both the 100 and 200 in the discipline.
 
A number of other Greyhounds notched a pair of individual victories, including Leticia Vaselli (50 and 100 free), Brooklyn Myers (200 and 500 free), Gabe Bynoe (50 free and 100 fly) and Sam Reiger (100 and 200 back).
 
Also, Hanna Burke won the 200 fly, Trevor Church was victorious the 100 free and Collin Taylor touched first in the 200 free.
 
Additionally, the teams competed in the 400 medley relay as well as the 200 free relay, with the Hounds winning all four races.
