Lilly just ekes her way into the Olympic team in the 200 breast stroke and she just got proposed to!

She had already qualified for winning the 100 breast.

Carson Tyler also qualified in the springboard. The first US diver since 2000 to qualify in both individual events. 

Right now Pieroni is the only IU swimmer who qualified but might not make the team. They've filled 24 of the 26 spots with 1 event to go. There is a good chance that 1 or both spots in that event will go to someone already in the team so he'll probably make it.

Edit: Pieroni gets the 26th (last) spot on the team so he's a 3 time Olympian.

Capobianco won the 3m springboard so IU went 1-2 in that event between him and Tyler. I looked at the results and saw that Henninger finished 3rd so IU actually went 1-2-3. Awesome.

Not IU swimming related, but college swimming related unless IU had a meet schedule vs Notre Dame this year. Cancelled their entire season over gambling.

Wow. 

Assuming he has eligibility left (I think he has 1 year) and isn't going pro, Chris Guiliano should transfer to IU.

My exact thoughts when I first saw that story. Seems like a long shot but why not? He’d get to compete without losing a year and could probably transition to a pro group at the same place.

Swimswam has the men's incoming class for this year ranked #2. It's not at all surprising that it's that high since they include the transfers. They were beat out for #1 by Texas, and it isn't surprising that they also have a strong class since they're now coached by Bowman.

Swimswam has the women at #7 in the preseason previews.

These rankings are done with the NCAA in mind where top talent matters more than depth, but looking at the rankings at the end, the B1G should be a barn burner (again). 

#7 IU

#8 USC

#T-9 OSU

#12 Michigan

The polls have the men at #4 and women at #6.

Swimswam is much higher on IU men than the polls. They have IU at #1.

For the women, they agree with the polls and have them at #6. They adjusted the rankings since they started doing the previews so they moved IU up from 7.
