In the latest\u00a0Sports Illustrated<\/em> issue, Indiana junior\u00a0Ian Finnerty\u00a0<\/strong>was featured in the “Faces in the Crowd” section. Finnerty is coming off a marvelous NCAA championships where he became the first swimmer to break 50 seconds<\/a> in the 100 breast in short course yards, and also doubled up with a win in the 200 breast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finnerty also swam the breaststroke leg on Indiana’s 4×100 medley relay team<\/a> that won the Hoosier’s first relay win at NCAA’s since they won the same relay in 1977.<\/p>\n

The “Faces in the Crowd” feature has been designed to highlight the best amateur athletes in the United States, and has been a feature of the magazine since 1956. Notable swimmers who have made the list in recent years have been former Arizona star\u00a0Kevin Cordes\u00a0<\/strong>in January 2014, and current Stanford sophomore\u00a0Grant Shoults<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in June 2016.<\/p>\n

Finnerty will be expected at the TYR Pro Swim Series at Indianapolis next week where he will look to put up some solid long course times after coming off a great short course season. Finnerty has yet to make an international team for the United States, and has a chance to make either the Pan Pacific Championships this summer or the Pan American Games or World University Games next summer.<\/p>\n
