Congratulations to all three for being very deserving recipients of our IU Athlete of the Year award.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">King, a three-time recipient of the award, became just the third person in Big Ten history to be named the league\u2019s Female Athlete of the Year more than once.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The six-time NCAA champion successfully defended her titles in both the 100 and 200 breaststroke in 2018, posting the fastest times in history in both events and becoming the first woman in Big Ten history to win three-straight national championships in league history.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cOne of the most impressive attributes of Lilly King is her amazing level of consistency,&#8221; IU head swimming coach <strong>Ray Looze<\/strong> remarked. \u201cShe is a true winner in every sense of the word. Hard worker, outstanding leader, confident, and unbelievably passionate in her commitment to Indiana University.

The junior became the first man in IU history to win both the 100 and 200 breast titles in one season.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #b81d1d;\"><strong>\u201cIan Finnerty has come a long way since his days at Bloomington South High School\u201d, Looze said. \u201cHe committed to the most diversified mixture of training on our squad this past year, which really paid off allowing him to contribute in a variety of areas for the team at the highest NCAA level. To top things off, sweeping all the breaststroke events at the NCAA\u2019s with training partner Lilly King was an incredible accomplishment for IU.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the 100 breast Championship Final, Finnerty became the first swimmer in history to break the 50-second barrier, posting the best time in history in 49.69. He won the 200 breast with a Big Ten, school and pool record time of 1:50.17.<\/p>\n<p>At the Big Ten Championships, Finnerty took home five conference titles \u2013 100 breast, 200 breast, 200 medley relay, 400 medley relay and 800 freestyle relay \u2013 to earn First-Team Big Ten honors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The junior played a pivotal role in the Hoosiers repeating as Big Ten champions, earning the program\u2019s 26<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0league crown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lillard wrapped up his tremendous, four-year career with the Hoosiers in 2017 with a stellar season. A MAC Hermann Trophy finalist, Lillard was a unanimous First-Team All-America selection after being named the Big Ten Defender of the Year and First-Team All-Big Ten. He also earned First-Team United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region, College Cup All-Tournament Team, Big Ten All-Tournament Team and Academic All-Big Ten\u00a0honors this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s great to have Grant honored by our athletic department as co-Male athlete of the year,\u201d IU head men\u2019s soccer coach Todd Yeagley said. \u201cTo be selected among so many great athletes competing at IU is a great accomplishment. Grant helped lead our team to one of our finest seasons in program history and played a huge role in our record-setting shutout. Grant certainly left a big mark on our program and we are excited to see him continue on his soccer journey as he excels for the Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hinsdale, Ill. product started 25 matches for the Hoosiers at center back, helping lead one of the best defenses in the country.\u00a0 IU led the nation in shutouts (18), goals allowed (7) and goals-against average (.260). He has also contributed offensively this year, totaling two goals and two assists. Lillard was also a standout in the classroom, earning his third-straight Academic All-Big Ten honor in 2017 after being named a Second-Team United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-American in 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After helping guide Indiana to the College Cup National Championship match and a 18-1-6 record on the season, Lillard signed a Homegrown Player contract with the Chicago Fire of the MLS.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lillard is the third player in Indiana history to sign Homegrown Player contract, joining Patrick Doody (Chicago Fire, 2015) and Tommy Thompson
