Indiana head coach\u00a0Ray Looze\u00a0<\/strong>recapped Indiana’s incredible Friday night at the 2019 NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships as the Hoosiers won national titles in the 100 fly<\/a>, 100 breast<\/a> and 3m diving<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Looze talked about how special\u00a0Vini Lanza’s\u00a0<\/strong>win was for him and the rest of the Indiana program as he won the Hoosiers’ first NCAA title in the 100 fly since\u00a0Mark Spitz\u00a0<\/strong>won four in a row from 1969-72. He talked about Lanza’s celebration and the emotions after that race<\/a> that Lanza showed. He also said “Lanza is a winner” and said he is looking to win the 200 as well Saturday night. Lanza is the third seed for the 200 fly tonight.<\/p>\n

Looze also talked about how well\u00a0Ian Finnerty\u00a0<\/strong>did in the 100 breast final and what it was like coaching him this season after he had a major breakout season in 2018. He previewed his 200 breast final for Saturday night and said he should have a better back half because of how he has trained. Finnerty is the defending champion in the 200 breast and is the second seed for finals tonight.<\/p>\n

Looze also discussed the 200 free where\u00a0Zach Apple\u00a0<\/strong>finished in second place behind\u00a0Andrew Seliskar\u00a0<\/strong>in one of the most hyped up races of the meet. He also gave a shoutout to the rest of the guys on his team in\u00a0Gabriel Fantoni\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Zane Backes\u00a0<\/strong>as well as NC State junior\u00a0Coleman Stewart<\/strong>, who swam two second place finishes Friday night.<\/p>\n

He also talked about how huge\u00a0Andrew Capobianco’s\u00a0<\/strong>3m board win was for the program and what he is hoping for the last day of the meet.<\/p>\n
