WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Nick McDowell won three events while demonstrating his stamina and freshman Kate Beavon also swept the distance freestyle events, highlighting Purdue swimming & diving's season-opening Black & Gold Intrasquad meet Friday.
McDowell and Beavon led their teams to victory. McDowell accounted for three of the Gold Team's seven victories, winning the 200 butterfly as well as both distance events.

Her classmates Mallory Jump (200 back) and Sylvia Kobylak (200 breast) also won events for the Black Team. Lindsay Turner (200 fly) joined Jade Knueppel (50 free) and Megan Johnson (100 free) as Boilermakers to win an individual event and contribute to a relay winner.
Gabi Gomez Treig and freshman Keelan Hart touched the wall simultaneously in the 200 freestyle. Gomez Treig bested Hart in the 100 free later in the meet. After Ryan Hrosik also won the 50 free, the Gold Team swept the freestyle events.
