BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Three members of the Indiana swimming and diving program featured in the Big Ten weekly awards announcement from the conference office on Wednesday (Oct. 28).
IU swept the Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors between Paige Downey and Gabriel Manteufel, and Miranda Grana was named the Big Ten Women's Swimmer of the Week. The Hoosiers won all four decisions in Friday's tri meet with No. 25/13 USC and No. 20/NR Kentucky.
Downey and Manteufel leaped up the Indiana all-time lists with their winning performances in the 1,000-yard freestyle. Downey became the No. 2 performer in program history with her 9:33.91, just surpassing Lindsay Vrooman's best time from the 2014 NCAA Championships (9:33.94). Manteufel went an 8:49.53 to move up to fourth on the men's all-time list. He swept Friday's distance events with another win in the 500 free (4:17.46).
Grana totaled four wins on Friday, sweeping her individual events and adding a relay victory. She finished first in the 100 backstroke (52.20), 200 backstroke (1:52.75) and 100 butterfly (51.96) and helped IU take the 200 medley relay (1:35.43) with a 22.81 butterfly split – the quickest of the field.
