WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Both squads had two Boilermakers win a pair of individual events as the Purdue swimming & diving teams posted two victories and a rare draw in Saturday's dual meet action vs. Missouri and the Illinois women at the Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center.
The Purdue women remained undefeated at 6-0 in dual meet action after sweeping a home triple dual for the second time this season. They won seven events, highlighted by a sweep of the diving events. On the men's side, Purdue and Missouri each won eight events as both teams finished with 150 points. It's believed to be the Boilermakers' first draw since 1957 vs. Iowa. The women also had a draw as recently as October 2002 at Notre Dame.
Caitlin Hurley swept the distance freestyle events and finished as the runner-up in the 200 free. She's now the women's team leader with nine individual event victories on the season.
Sophie McAfee swept the springboard diving events for the third meet in a row dating back to November's triple dual vs. Rutgers and Oakland. The junior posted a personal-best and team season-best list total of 317.75 on 1-meter, moving into 14th place in program history. Her winning list (355.25) on 3-meter was only 1.7 points off her team season-best mark.
Brady Samuels swept the freestyle sprints and continues to lead the men's team with nine individual event victories. He teamed up with Jude Wenker and Nathaniel Thomas for a 1-2-3 finish in the 50. Coleman Modglin is close behind with eight wins after he swept the breaststroke events again.
Holden Higbie won on 3-meter with a similar accomplishment as McAfee on 1-meter. The freshman won with a personal-best and team season-best list of 409, also moving into 14th place on the program's all-time leaderboard. Jordan Rzepka's victory on 1-meter and Daryn Wright's victory on the platform gave the Boilermakers a full sweep of the five diving events contested Saturday. Purdue went 1-2-3 in men's 1-meter and women's platform. Rzepka (5) and Wright (7) have combined for 12 event wins this season.
Andy Kelly rallied with a closing 50 split of 24.92 to win the 200 free, out touching Missouri's Freddie Rindshoej by 0.11 hundredths. He also teamed up with event winner Dylan Burau to give the Boilermakers a 1-2 finish in the 200 backstroke.
Maggie Love won the 50 free and was the runner-up in the 100 breast and 200 IM. She now has eight event wins on the season. Abbie Marcukaitis was victorious in the 100 back and a heat winner in the 200 back, taking third overall. Abbie Kehmeier finished as the runner-up in both backstroke events.
More heat winners for the women included: Kate Beavon (200 free), Reagan Mattice (500 free), Ana Rojas (100 back), Kate Mouser (200 breast) and Keira Kask (200 IM).
The Boilermakers are back in action on Saturday, Jan. 27 when they visit Bloomington for the annual co-ed rivalry dual vs. Indiana. Action begins at 10 a.m. and will be streamed lived on the B1G+ app and website.
