BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Notre Dame women’s swimming and diving will be back on the road during fall break this week, as the Irish head to Bloomington to face No. 6 Indiana.
Notre Dame is coming off of a pair of losses to No. 14 Michigan and No. 15 Wisconsin last weekend. The highlight of the meet was Carli Cronk’s 400 IM, as the freshman won the event and earned an NCAA B cut with a time of 4:15.53. That mark ranks eighth in school history and is the sixth-fastest time in the NCAA this season.
Through just two collegiate meets, Cronk has finished first or second in four of six individual events.
On the other side of the deck, Indiana has a loaded squad that returns the majority of its stars from last season’s team that went 8-0 in dual meets and won the Big Ten. The group finished seventh at NCAA Championships, tying a program record for highest finish.
The Hoosiers are led by senior Anna Peplowski, who earned a gold medal in the 4×200 free relay at the Paris Olympics this summer, and Mariah Denigan, a member of this year’s U.S. National Team as an open water swimmer.
Wednesday’s meet at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center begins at 3 p.m. Notre Dame last faced Indiana in 2019 and last traveled to Bloomington in 2018.
