Hoosiers Defeat Ohio State 154-89

Jan 16, 2001

Saturday's win over Ohio State keeps Indiana women's swimming and diving undefeated heading into West Lafayette next week. Indiana won nine events en route to their 154-89 victory. Their dominance showed most clearly in the final event where the Hoosiers captured first and second places in the 400 free relay. Tina Gretlund, Susan Woessner, Meghan Rice, and Sarah Bowman finished in 3:33.50, almost six seconds ahead of the first Ohio State team. The second IU team swam a 3:37.91. The 400-medley relay also collected on a first place finish. Woessner, Megan Geers, Gretlund, and Anne Williams clocked in at 3:52.93.

Indiana spread the wealth as six swimmers won another six events. Distance queen Sarah Fiden shortened her course taking home the 200 free win (1:54.40). Erin Rice took care of the distance events in winning the 1000 free in 10:23.29. Gretlund beat out Ohio State power Kristen Sendrowski in the 200 fly. Gretlund swam a 2:03.25 to win by a tenth of a second. Anne Williams, Colleen McCracken, and Megan Geers won the final three individual events. Williams finished the 100 free in 52.83, McCracken the 200 back in 2:04.36, and Geers the 200 breast in 2:25.27. Erin Quinn reaffirmed her Big Ten diver of the week naming by winning the three-meter dive and taking third on the one-meter board.

Indiana goes upstate January 20 for a much-anticipated dual with Purdue. The meet begins at 1 p.m. at Lambert Fieldhouse in West Lafayette, Ind.
