BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – No. 2/5 Indiana swimming and diving continues its journey in the College Swimming League (CSL), as it competes in Match 5 – its second match – of the tournament Friday (Oct. 16) night inside the Mt. Sac Aquatic Center in Walnut, California.
Indiana will compete against No. 4/7 Cal, No. 7/9 NC State and No. 8/2 Stanford in Friday's meet, starting at 8:30 p.m. ET. Fans can watch the meet on via ESPN+ and DAZN. Up to twenty-eight athletes (14 men, 14 women) from each team will swim 15 events, with each team assigned two lanes; Indiana will swim from lane Nos. 7 and 8.
The Hoosiers will automatically qualify for the CSL Championship match in Indianapolis with a first-place finish on Friday. IU won CSL's inaugural match on September 24, outscoring No. 12/8 Louisville, No. 8/6 Michigan and No. 13/11 Ohio State with 575.5 points. That score ranked second-best for first-match scoring among all 12 CSL teams.
Seven different Hoosiers won events in their CSL debuts, and IU's superstar second-years Alex Shackell and Liberty Clark led the team with three wins apiece. The Hoosier women flexed their toughness and endurance, winning both skins events.
Event order: 500 freestyle, 200 breaststroke, 200 backstroke, 200 freestyle relay, 200 butterfly, 100 IM, 100 backstroke, 100 freestyle, Skins*, 200 IM, 100 breaststroke, 50 freestyle, 100 butterfly, 200 freestyle, Super Skins*
The College Swimming League is a brand new, dynamic league poised to "revolutionize college swimming with high-octane, fan-focused competition." The inaugural season features a six-match regular season and a two-match postseason in a four-team match format, with each participating institution competing in two regular season matches.
*The CSL introduces Skins events to collegiate swimming. A skins race is an elimination-style sprint competition in which athletes race back-to-back rounds until two athletes/teams remain for a final head-to-head showdown. The team that wins the 200 freestyle relay gets to decide the stroke for the first round of skins. Super skins will feature four rounds of the 200 medley relay.
