The No. 2\/13 Indiana University men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming and diving teams continued to rake in the Big Ten weekly awards, as four Hoosiers earned accolades this week.<\/p>\n
After helping the No. 2-ranked Indiana men\u2019s team win the IU Invitational last week, Zach Apple<\/strong> was named Big Ten Men\u2019s Swimmer of the Week, while James Connor<\/strong> was named Big Ten Men\u2019s Diver of the Week.<\/p>\n For the No. 13 Hoosier women\u2019s squad, Lilly King<\/strong> was named Big Ten Women\u2019s Swimmer of the Week for the second-straight week and fourth time this season. Noelle Peplowski<\/strong> was named Big Ten Women\u2019s Freshman of the Week.<\/p>\n Apple had a great three days at the IU Invitational, winning the 100 freestyle with the fastest time in the nation \u2013 42.44. The senior also helped the Hoosiers post NCAA A cut times in victories in the 400 freestyle relay (2:49.56) and the 800 freestyle relay (6:17.78). The 400 free relay\u2019s mark was also the best time in the country.<\/p>\n Along with the wins, Apple also took second on the 50 freestyle (19.47) and fourth in the 200 freestyle (1:34.68) with season-best times.<\/p>\n Connor continued his domination at the IU Invitational, winning both events he entered to make him a perfect 7-for-7 on the season. Connor took first in the 1-meter dive with a score of 421.40 and also won the 3-meter dive with a total of 451.80.<\/p>\n The redshirt senior\u2019s seven wins this season are the most for any swimmer or diver for IU. Both scores were NCAA Zones qualifying marks for Connor.<\/p>\n King continued to dominate the breaststroke events at the IU Invitational, winning both the 100 breast (56.43) and 200 breast (2:03.60) with NCAA A cut times. Both times were the fastest in the nation this year.<\/p>\n Peplowski was outstanding for Indiana at the IU Invitational, posting four top-3 finishes in four individual events.
