Indiana Earns Program Record Fourth Place National Finish

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. – Under the shadow of Mt. Rainier, Indiana women's swimming and diving reached its peak this week at the 2025 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving, capturing a program record fourth place national finish.
The Hoosiers scored a program record 312 points, smashing their previous best mark of 219 set in 2023. Indiana outscored Tennessee by 14 points to reach the four-team trophy table.
The two teams were tied at 264 points following the 200-yard butterfly, the final individual swimming event, but diving made the difference. Senior Skyler Liu's national title and Ella Roselli's 12th-place finish on platform added 25 points to IU's total, while the Lady Vols went scoreless in diving. Tennessee finished second in the 400-yard freestyle relay, ahead of IU's tied-for-seventh placement, but the 11-point deficit did not make up for IU's platform prowess.
Indiana also set program records for total medals (seven) and All-America honors (38), and for the first time in school history all five relays recorded top five finishes. Indiana athletes set program records in eight events.

Indiana's seniors "left it all out there" in their final night of collegiate competition.
Ching Hwee Gan earned her third-straight NCAA medal in the 1,650-yard freestyle while finally overtaking an 11-year-old program record. Gan's 15:42.40 was almost four seconds faster that her previous personal best (15:46.22) and two seconds better than Lindsay Vrooman's 15:44.45 that placed fifth at NCAAs in 2014.
Classmate Brearna Crawford entered her first-career championship final in the 200-yard breaststroke with a prelim time of 2:07.16 and career-best 2:06.86 and came out of the pool the NCAA bronze medalist after going sub-2:06 for the first time in her career. Crawford's 2:05.66 makes her the third-fastest Hoosier ever, behind Lilly King and former teammate and now-assistant coach Noelle Peplowski.
Liu capped her career with her national title on platform. The four-time Big Ten Champion picked up her first two NCAA medals this week, also earning bronze on the 3-meter springboard on Friday. Indiana has won three of the last five women's NCAA platform diving titles – Tarrin Gilliland repeated as tower champion from 2021-22. Between the men and women's programs, Indiana has captured an NCAA platform championship each of the last five seasons.
Anna Peplowski scored maximum points out of the 100-yard freestyle consolation final, wrapping up a legendary meet performance and collegiate for the swimmer who is perhaps Indiana's greatest-ever women's freestyle swimmer. Peplowski won Indiana's first freestyle championship Friday in the 200 free and took bronze in the 500 free for a second-straight year, bringing her career NCAA medal total to four. The senior finishes her collegiate career an Olympian, 21-time All-American and eight-time Big Ten Champion.
