Brendan Burns Dominates as Indiana Men Top Louisville; Cardinal Women Beat Hoosiers<\/strong><\/p>\n

A handful of college dual meets were called off again this weekend as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the United States<\/a>, but Indiana University’s home meet against Louisville went off as scheduled. The Hoosier men, ranked No. 5 in the latest CSCAA dual meet poll, crushed Louisville by a 205-95 margin, while Louisville’s women took down Indiana, 182-118.<\/p>\n

The top performer of the meet was Indiana junior\u00a0Brendan Burns<\/strong>, who put up impressive times on his way to victories in the 200 butterfly (1:40.72), 200 backstroke (1:41.18) and 100 butterfly (45.49). IU’s\u00a0Josh Matheny<\/strong> swept the 100 (53.41) and 200 breaststroke (1:57.06), while U.S. Olympian Michael Brinegar<\/strong> placed first in the 1000 free (8:51.20).<\/p>\n

On the women’s side, Louisville won behind a trio of double winners.\u00a0Liberty Williams<\/strong> dominated both the 1000 free (9:33.23) and 500 free (4:40.10), while\u00a0Abby Hay<\/strong> placed first in the 200 fly (1:55.87) and 400 IM (4:12.37).\u00a0Gabi Albiero<\/strong> picked up triumphs in the 50 free (22.25) and 100 fly (51.63).<\/p>\n

Fifth-ranked Indiana men’s swimming and diving team continues to roll into the new year as it defeated No. 11 Louisville, 205-95, Friday (January 14) inside Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center.<\/p>\n

The Hoosier men improved its season dual meet record to 7-0 while earning its 13th straight dual meet victory, a streak that goes back to 2019.<\/p>\n

“I thought our men took care of business against a good team,” head swimming coach Ray Looze<\/strong> said. “Across the board, I was proud of them.”<\/p>\n

Indiana diving was fantastic again as the men’s and women’s teams combined for four wins in the 1-meter and 3-meter dives. Senior Kristen Hayden<\/strong> won both events on the women’s side, and freshman Carson Tyler<\/strong> duplicated that for the men.<\/p>\n

“It was a great start to the new year for the Hoosier divers,” head diving coach Drew Johansen<\/strong> said. “The whole team was happy to be back competing. The work they did in our training camp over break is starting to pay off.”<\/p>\n

Missing a handful of athletes, the women’s team fell to the 15th-ranked Cardinals, 182-118, dropping to 5-2 on the season.<\/p>\n

Diving provided a bright spot for the women’s team, as Hoosiers filled the top five placements in the 3-meter dive and four of the top five spots in the 1-meter.<\/p>\n

“We just have to tip our hat to the Cardinals,” Looze said. “They were the better team, and we didn’t have the answers in enough events to make it a competitive meet. We’ll go back to the drawing board, and our goal is to be much sharper against Purdue in a week. It’s nice to have another meet to jump right into.<\/p>\n
