DUAL MEET INFORMATION
Purdue Men and Women at Notre Dame
Friday, Oct. 13 at 4 p.m. ET
Rolfs Aquatic Center / South Bend, Indiana
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue swimming & diving teams open their new season with their lone full team road trip of the fall, visiting South Bend for a Friday the 13th co-ed dual at Notre Dame.
Action begins at 4 p.m. ET at UND's Rolfs Aquatic Center. A traditional 16-event dual is planned for Friday with the default events, including the 200 medley and 400 free relays, 200 individual medley and springboard diving.
The Purdue men are set to compete for the first time under the guidance of head coach Alex Jerden, who ascended to the leader of the program in April following the retirement of Dan Ross. Jerden previously spent four years as an assistant coach with the Boilermakers.
Purdue swept a co-ed dual in November 2014 for its last victories in South Bend. After the Boilermakers enjoyed a strong stretch in the annual series from 2007-08 through 2015-16, the Fighting Irish have turned the tables in recent years and swept the last five co-ed duals. Purdue also visited South Bend for the last dual between the schools in October 2021. Brady Samuels won the 50 freestyle that night.
The Boilermakers also traveled 19 swimmers to the South Bend-Elkhart area in March for the CSCAA National Invitational Championships at the Beacon Health Aquatic Center. All 19 swimmers remain active members of the programs. Ethan Shaw won bronze in the 500 free. Last month, Shaw joined Andrew Alders and Griffin Seaver as the seniors elected as team captains for this season by their teammates.
South Bend native and Saint Joseph High School product Evie Sierra headlines Purdue's current group of student-athletes that hail from Northern Indiana and the Region.
After Friday, the Boilermakers' next five NCAA meets are all at home. They don't travel again until visiting Bloomington for the annual rivalry dual with Indiana on January 27. Purdue home-opening weekend is up next and features meets Friday evening and Saturday afternoon at the Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center.
