TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State swimming and diving hits the road for the second time in the 2024-25 season as the Sycamores make the trip to Champaign, Ill. for the "House of 'Paign" meet against Illinois and Vanderbilt. Events will run both Friday (starting at 6 p.m. ET) and Saturday (starting at noon ET) inside the ARC Pool.
 
The Sycamores enter the meet coming off a convincing win over Eastern Illinois as Indiana State swept all 14 swimming events in the pool against the Panthers. Indiana State picked up its second consecutive victory of the year with the 205-52 win over EIU.
 
Kaleigh Kelley (100 Breast, 100 Fly), Claire Parsons (200 Free, 500 Free), and Dorotea Bukvic (200 Breast, 200 IM) all claimed multiple individual wins in Indiana State's final home meet of the calendar year. Gemma Dilks (1000 Free), Sahara Visscher (100 Back), Alexandria Cotter (200 Fly), Alexa Szadorski (50 Free), Chloe Farro (100 Free), and Kalli Agapios (200 Back) added individual wins, and the Sycamores swept both relay events to cap the evening's action inside the pool.
 
Kelley and Dilks both claimed Missouri Valley weekly honors as announced by the conference office on Monday. Kelley (Swimmer) took home wins in all four of the events she swam in, while Dilks (Freshman) dropped times in both the 1000 and 500 Freestyle events in claiming her first conference recognition.
 
The Sycamore duo joined teammates Chloe Farro (Swimmer) and Maria Saldana Riebeling (Freshman) who claimed the honors back on October 9.
