DUAL MEET INFORMATION
Purdue Men and Women host Indiana
Saturday, Jan. 26 / BTN Plus on BTN2Go
Senior Day Ceremony at 10:30 a.m. ET / Meet Begins at 11 a.m.
Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center / West Lafayette, Indiana
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue swimming & diving's final co-ed dual of the home season will double as the annual Senior Day meet, with 24 Boilermakers recognized for their contributions to the university prior to Saturday's dual vs. rival Indiana.
Purdue's Big Bass Drum will be on deck again for Senior Day. The ceremony will begin at 10:30 a.m. ET and the meet will get underway at 11 a.m. As has been customary at the annual Indiana-Purdue dual in recent years, platform diving will be contested as a scoring event. The 16-event meet will feature 3-meter diving as a non-scoring exhibition. The 400 individual medley will also be featured instead of the 200 IM.
The first 100 fans at the meet Saturday receive a free Purdue swimming & diving drawstring bag.
In memory of the late Tom Reiter, a longtime Purdue basketball coach and later assistant athletics director/sport administrator for swimming & diving, the Boilermakers have once again partnered with Be the Match for a bone marrow donor registration drive. Joining the registry is easy and can be done electronically by going to https://join.bethematch.org/Purdue or text "Cure36" to 61474.
Be the Match will have a table set up on the mezzanine level of the aquatic center. Anyone who registers as a potential bone marrow donor will be entered to win a JBL Bluetooth speaker. The drawing will be held during the break between the 50 and 100 freestyle. Stacie Hitt, Reiter's wife, will be recognized on deck as an honorary captain after the National Anthem. Reiter passed away in January 2014 after a yearlong battle with cancer.
A pay-per-view webcast of Saturday's meet will be available via BTN Plus on BTN2Go and FloSwimming. Fans that sign up for a $10 BTN Plus monthly subscription Saturday would be covered through the Women's Big Ten Championships (Feb. 20-23), which will also be streamed (along with the men's) on the same platforms.
The third-ranked Indiana men have won the last two Big Ten titles and 28 consecutive dual meets dating back to a January 2016 victory vs. Purdue in Bloomington. The Indiana women are ranked No. 11 in the latest top 25 poll released this week by the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America.
Danielle Auckley (100 free) and Nick McDowell (1,000 free) have won events each of the last two seasons vs. Indiana. Taite Kitchel (200 fly) and Brandon Loschiavo (platform diving) were also victorious last year in Bloomington. Jackie Smailis and Auckley have been part of the Purdue women's victorious 400 free relay team vs. IU the last two years.
