INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy swimming & diving teams welcomed a pair of Division I opponents to the Ruth Lilly Center Saturday and sent them both away with losses. UIndy defeated the women of crosstown Butler and both teams from Eastern Illinois in convincing fashion, with both Kirabo Namutebi and Cedric Buessing resetting their own school records.

INS & OUTS
The Hounds combined to win all but two of the day's 32 events, with Namutebi and Buessing accounting for a combined five wins across individual and relay events.
 
Namutebi outpaced her own school record with a lightning-fast 22.03 in the 50. The A-cut time topped her previous best of 22.08, which was the DII record she set at Nationals last March.
 
Buessing, meanwhile, posted a 1:42.85 in the 200 back to shave a half second off his UIndy record. He also won the 200 free, improving his B-cut time with a 1:35.71.
