WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A pair of B Cuts in the men's backstroke events, two other Boilermakers winning their third individual events of the weekend, and a half dozen 1-2 finishes highlighted the final session of Purdue swimming & diving's two-day dual meet vs. Oakland and the Rutgers women.
The Boilermakers won 14 events Saturday – six by the women, eight by the men – to finish the weekend with 26 event victories (10 women, 16 men). Purdue was victorious in all three team scores, with the women's team improving to 4-0 in dual meets this season.
Brady Samuels (46.68 in 100 back) and Dylan Burau (1:43.83 while winning the 200 back) accounted for top-20 marks nationally while posting NCAA provisional qualifying times. Samuels' time came on the leadoff leg of the 400 medley relay, which he helped Purdue win. Burau moved into 10th place in program history with his lifetime best. The sophomore swept the backstroke events on the weekend with a pair of lifetime bests.
Freshman Caitlin Hurley demonstrated her versatility with victories in 100 and 1000 free Saturday after also winning the 200 free Friday. Senior captain Ethan Shaw was the men's three-time winner, out touching classmate Charlie King by 0.25 hundredths to take the 200 butterfly Saturday. Shaw won the 400 IM and 500 free Friday. Hurley (100 free) and Shaw posted team season-best times in their victories Saturday.
Brinly Hardy (200 fly), Maggie Love (200 IM) and Coleman Modglin (200 breast) all won an individual event for the third consecutive weekend to begin the season. Hurley and Love, Modglin and Shaw share the team leads in victories with six apiece.
Sophie McAfee and Jordan Rzepka teamed up to complete Purdue's weekend sweep of the four diving events. McAfee's season-best list (304.75) on 1-meter allowed her best teammate Daryn Wright by 1.05 points, giving McAfee her second springboard sweep at a meet as a Boilermaker.
Idris Muhammad (100 free), Cooper Callahan (200 IM) and Pat Broderick (1650 free) rounded out the men's list of winners.
The Purdue women closed out the meet with a victory in the 200 freestyle relay, winning six of the seven freestyle events over the course of the weekend. The Boilermakers had at least the top three finishers in the 200, 500 and 1000. Hannah Hill, Kendra Bowen and Love contributed to both wins.
A DQ in the 200 free relay cost the Purdue men a full sweep of the four relays. But their time of 3:12.70 while winning the 400 medley relay was good for a top-20 mark nationally. Samuels was the common link on all three relay winners.
The Purdue women's 1-2 finish in the 200 fly was the most unique. Hardy (2:04.22) and Madeline Greaves (2:04.24) were separated by just .02 hundredths while each winning a heat.
The Boilermakers are back in action in two weeks when they host the three-day, six-session Purdue Invitational from Nov. 16-18. This year's edition of the meet also features a bonus long course time trials session on Sunday morning. Admission is free for every day of the midseason showcase.
