DALRYMPLE PERSPECTIVE
- This weekend was a tremendous start to our third season of IWU swimming! While it’s very early in the season and we’ve never competed this early, our team showed up and put in an exciting initial effort. We were thrilled to get all five relay teams qualified for nationals right from the start, and excited to see Sophomore Sydney Darnell already qualify for three individual events at nationals as well. Eager to get back to training now and see what all transpires in the days ahead!
NEXT TIME OUT
- IWU will head to the Indiana Intercollegiate October 19th on the campus of Purdue University. The meet will start at 12 p.m.
