The Boilermakers won 14 of the 24 events contested – eight by the women and six by the men. Purdue swept the springboard diving events and was victorious in three of the four relays.
After winning the 50 free in 23.11 earlier in the day, Hill blazed her way to a 50 split of 22.32 on the leadoff leg of 200 free relay as the event of the meet. She eclipsed Lauren Gustafson’s team record (23.49) that had stood since the 2013 Big Ten Championships, making it the longest-standing individual swimming benchmark in the team record book. It’s also the second time this year – dating back to Feb. 2 – that a longstanding Purdue record finally changed hands. Hill’s classmate Maggie Love eclipsed the 200 IM mark, which had stood since 2012, in the final dual meet of the 2023-24 campaign.
Brady Samuels (100 back) and Love (100 IM) both won an event at the Indiana Intercollegiate for the fourth consecutive year. Freshman Lara Phipps was victorious in the 100 free in her home debut and anchored Purdue’s 200 medley relay team to victory as well.
Hill and Phipps also finished second to teammates in the 100 back and 100 IM.
