COLUMBUS, Ohio -- No. 25 Purdue women's swimming and diving won two more individual events and a relay to finish off a team victory at the Ohio State Invitational Sunday afternoon.
The Boilermakers finished the weekend with 1097 points, topping second-place Kentucky by 163 points. Big Ten rivals No. 23 Wisconsin (698 points) and No. 18 Ohio State (652) finished third and fourth, respectively. It was the Boilers' first victory at an invitational meet since winning the Purdue Invitational in November 2012. Purdue last won a multi-day invitational meet on the road in November 2004 at North Carolina.
Abby Jagdfeld won the A final of the 100 freestyle and established a new Purdue freshman record, accomplishing the impressive double feat in an event for the second day in a row. Emily Fogle won the A final of the 200 breaststroke to sweep the breast events for the weekend. The Boilermakers finished the day with a victory in the 400 free relay after also winning both medley relays earlier in the weekend.
Jagdfeld broke Rhiannon Sheets' 100 free freshman record with a time of 49.78 in the prelims, a mark she then matched on the leadoff leg of the 400 free relay. Jagdfeld out touched OSU's Zhesi Li by nine hundredths of a second to win the A final with a time of 49.83. Saturday, the freshman from Wisconsin won the 200 free with a new Purdue freshman-record time.
Fogle and Francesca Marr finished 1-2 in the A final of the 200 breast. Marr had the best time of the day in the prelims (2:11.82), but Fogle's 2:11.93 mark in the finals was good enough for the victory. Fogle improved on her prelim time (2:14.48) by two and half seconds.
Kylie Vogel, Grace Hernandez and Sheets teamed with Jagdfeld to win the 400 free relay with a time of 3:19.55 that ranks fifth in program history.
Led by a runner-up finish in the A final by Sheets, six Boilermakers scored team points in the 200 butterfly (the most of any event Sunday). MacKenzie Tweardy also accounted for a runner-up finish when she took second in platform diving. The senior finished less than one point behind the event winner, Miami's Cheyenne Cousineau.
All five distance freestyle specialists that competed in the mile for the first time this season finished in the top 11. Nika Karlina Petric took third and moved into second place in program history with a career-best time of 16:18.88.
Trish Regan (200 back) and Vogel (100 free) also posted third-place finishes in A finals. Anji Li won the B final of the 100 free. Hannah Manger's prelim time of 1:58.71 in the 200 back moved her into fourth place in program history. She settled for fourth in the A final after Regan improved on her prelim time (2:02.05) by more than three seconds.
Sheets' time of 1:56.83 in the 200 fly was only .16 hundredths of a second off the program-record mark she established as a freshman at the 2011 Ohio State Invitational.
The Purdue men dominated platform diving, finishing 2-3-4-5-6 behind unattached diver and event winner Zhipeng Zeng (439.75). Steele Johnson led the way with a runner-up finish and a score of 402.85 that was good for 10th in program history. Jamie Bissett competed from the towers again after focusing on springboard events as a junior. He took third followed by Nate Cox, Alec Back and Sean Mokhtari.
The Purdue swimmers are idle from competition until hosting Michigan State at the Boilermaker Aquatic Center Jan. 10. Selected Purdue divers will return to Columbus next month for the USA Diving Winter Nationals, Dec. 16-21.
