IU Mens/Womens Swimming and Diving

Recommended Posts

Apple swam the freestyle leg of the mens 4x100 medley relay and won gold in WR time. I believe Pieroni swam in the prelims and gets a gold too. Same goes for Lilly who swam the prelims of the womens 4x100 medley relay that won silver and just lost by a hair to Australia.

 Incoming Indiana diving signee Carson Tyler won the men's 1M and 3M Springboard events at the 2021 USA Diving Junior National Championships earlier this week.
 
The 2021 USA Diving Junior National Championships took place from July 29-August 4 at the IU Natatorium on the campus of IUPUI. More than 500 junior divers, ages 18 and under, had the opportunity to compete in the prestigious event.
 
The Hoosier signee scored big point on his final dive of the contest to win the 1M Springboard event with a final tally of 563.85 points, 8.90 points ahead of the runner-up. Tyler scored big points (75.95) to open the final round and sealed the victory with a 72.00-point dive on a Reverse 1 1/2 Somersault 2 1/2 Twist (5335D).
 
The Moultrie, Ga., native cleared the rest of the field by over 57 points on the 3M Springboard after putting together a two-round, 11-dive set of 705.30 points. He totaled 481.60 points on his final six dives to run away with the individual title.
 
Tyler scored 69.70 points or higher on all six of his final dives, including four dives north of 75 points and two above 85 total points. His fifth dive of the finals, a Reverse 3 1/2 Somersault Tuck (307C) recorded a 99.75 after all six judges gave the dive at least a 9.0. The 28.50 net score coupled with the 3.50 dive difficulty multiplier gave Tyler the highest scored dive of the competition.  
 
He also finished second overall on the 10M Platform with a final score of 604.90 points, just 18.8 points behind the winner. He ended the round with an incredible 97.35-point dive. He received perfect 10.0 scores from four judges, a 9.5, and two 9.0 scores
 
IU fans received their first taste of the talented future Hoosier during the 2020 Olympic Diving Trials in the middle of June. Tyler competed in three of the four contested events at the competition and finished third in the men's 3M Synchro Springboard, 10th in the men's 10m Platform, and 16th in the men's 3M Springboard event.
 
Tyler joins an already loaded men's diving team led by three-time Team USA Olympic Diving Head Coach, Drew Johansen. In the fall, he will be teamed up with rising senior Logan Brown, Olympic silver medalist Andrew Capobianco, incoming freshman and Olympic Trial qualifier Quinn Henninger, and NCAA qualifier and senior-to-be Cole VanDevender.

Eaton Named Swimming Assistant Head Coach

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana head swimming coach Ray Looze announced the promotion of Emily Eaton to assistant head coach on Thursday.
 
"I am excited to promote Emily to an assistant head coach here at Indiana University," said Looze. "In a very short period of time, she has proven to be a fantastic coach, recruiter, and leader. We look forward to many more years with Coach Eaton here at IU."
 
Eaton enters her third season as a swimming coach for Indiana in 2021-22 and her first season as the Director of Men's and Women's Recruiting.
 
During her first two seasons at Indiana, Eaton has helped the Hoosiers achieve four top-3 finishes at the Big Ten Championships. IU has produced 26 All-Big Ten swimmers, two Big Ten Swimmers of the Championships and one Big Ten Freshman of the Championships during her tenure.
 
At the 2021 NCAA Championships, Indiana finishes sixth on the men's side and 15th in the women's meet. The squad combined for 47 All-American honors from 17 different swimmers.
 
Eaton arrived in Bloomington after two seasons at Missouri including the 2018-19 year as an assistant coach and the program's director of operations since June 2017. During her time with the Tigers, Eaton helped the program to a men's second-place finish at the 2018-19 Southeastern Conference Championships and 11th place finish at NCAA Championships. The women placed seventh in the SEC last season and 22nd at national championships. She coached 17 All-Americans during her tenure.
 
Eaton came to Mizzou from Albion College, where she was an assistant coach for the 2016-17 season. With the Brits, she helped the program achieve a history-making campaign as the men's team claimed its first Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship since 1971. At the NCAA Championships, the men's team finished 13th, highlighted by two All-America first team and four All-America honorable mention performances.
 
Before Albion, Eaton coached at the Genesys Athletic Club in Grand Blanc, Mich. She began as assistant coach in 2012 and was elevated to head coach in 2014. Under her direction, Genesys achieved its best-ever conference finish in her first season at the helm before claiming the dual meet championship in 2016.
 
Eaton was a three-time All-American at Grand Valley State and still holds top 10 program times in three different events. She also earned Collegiate Swimming Coaches Association of America Scholar All-America honors all four years.
 
She earned a bachelor's of science in Secondary Education with a triple emphasis in mathematics, health, and physical education in 2016. Eaton later earned her master's of education in counseling psychology from the University of Missouri in 2020.

Some good stuff there. Not sure how much you can draw from from this but the men should be good by the time it matters. 

You can't really worry about the bad times too much since it's a pre-season intramural meet without taper, especially for the younger swimmers. On the flip side, you can also look at the promise shown by the good times. At least, that's how I look at it. 

Like Josh Matheny had a bad meet. Big deal, he'll be fine by the end of the season and will likely earn NCAA points. He's just a few months away from having finished 5th in the 100 breast at the Olympic trials.  Fantoni and Burns both swam well, which is expected.
