BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Four members of the Indiana swimming and diving team featured in the Big Ten Players to Watch list, announced by the conference office on Tuesday (Sept. 23).
Senior Owen McDonald, juniors Miranda Grana and Ella Roselli and freshman Josh Hedberg represented in the preseason watchlist ahead of the 2025-26 season.
The reigning Big Ten Swimmer of the Year, McDonald was the conference's top-scoring swimmer at the 2025 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships as the team finished third. McDonald earned podium finishes in all three events, including a third-place performance in the 200 IM. McDonald also swept his events at the Big Ten Championships.
Grana is the top-scoring returner for a women's team that finished a program-record fourth at the 2025 NCAA Championships. She placed third in the 100-yard backstroke, fourth in the 100-yard butterfly – setting program records in both events – as well as ninth in the 200-yard backstroke. Grana also captured Big Ten titles in the 100 fly and 400 medley relay.
Roselli also contributed important points to the women's historic national finish, scoring in both the 1-meter springboard and platform diving events. At Big Tens, Roselli medaled for the second consecutive season on 1-meter and scored on 3-meter and platform.
Hedberg joins the top diving program in the country after a decorated junior career. The freshman has already competed for the senior national team at three World Aquatics Championships in 2022, 2024 and 2025. Hedberg is a 10-time junior national champion, six-time senior national champion and two-time world junior champion.
The Hoosiers kick off the 2025-26 season Friday (Sept. 26) morning, hosting Florida inside the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center.
