____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Juniors Eric Ress and Cody Miller will lead a small group of IU swimmers in Austin, Texas, for the USA Swimming Winter Nationals beginning today and ending Saturday.Particularly challenging for the Hoosiers as they head into this competition is the increased talent that will be present in the pool, IU Coach Ray Looze said.He said the IU swimmers will be up against tapered, shaved and reenergized athletes.“A well-rested athlete is always dangerous to an athlete in full training, and that’s where our swimmers are at this point,” Looze said.Not only is the meet a chance for the IU swimmers to compete against a versatile field, but it is also an opportunity for IU coaches to scout for recruitments because of the various club teams that will compete, Looze said.Other Hoosiers competing in the meet include 2012 Olympic participant sophomore Dorina Szekeres and recipient of All-American honors in the 500 freestyle and the 400 medley relay, senior Jim Barbiere.Brooklyn Snodgrass, Haley Lips, Taylor O’Brien and Madeline Maher will represent the women’s team freshman class, while Tanner Kurz is the lone male freshman to perform at nationals this weekend.“Without much rest and coming off of break, it’s going to be hard, but this meet is going to be a challenge for a lot of us,” junior Lindsay Vrooman said. “Some of this summer’s past Olympians will be competing, so it will be a good racing experience.”The remainder of the IU swimming and diving team will participate this weekend in the OSU Invitational in Columbus, Ohio.The Hoosiers will be pitted against fierce competitors including the men’s current No. 5 Florida, No. 10 Ohio State and No. 17 North Carolina.“We are going to see some fast times from both teams, either going to Texas or OSU, even though we are not tapering for this meet, but I believe that spending some time with our family or friends over the Thanksgiving break gave us some extra strength to carry on until Christmas break,” Szekeres said.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>The IU men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will compete against the Penn State Nittany Lions and Virginia Cavaliers at their first home meet of the 2012-13 season Friday and Saturday at the Councilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center.Admission for the event is free. Spectators are encouraged to park in the Sunrise Lane lot across the street from the CBAC with the entrance off 10th Street.“I’m very excited to compete at home,” sophomore Steve Schmuhl said. “It’s always fun swimming in front of a home crowd and being able to show our friends and families firsthand what we work so hard for.”The teams will go head-to-head in the 200 freestyle relay, 200 individual medley, 500 freestyle, 100 breaststroke, 200 backstroke, 100 freestyle, 200 butterfly and 400 medley relay to kick off the two-day tri-meet at 5 p.m. Friday. The divers are scheduled to compete in the women’s 1-meter springboard and the men’s 3-meter springboard.At 11 a.m. Saturday, the teams will compete in the 200 medley relay, 1,000 freestyle, 50 freestyle, 100 backstroke, 200 breaststroke, 100 butterfly, 200 freestyle, 400 individual medley, 400 freestyle relay, women’s 3-meter diving and men’s 1-meter diving.According to the most recent College Swimming Coaches Association of America poll, the Hoosier women are ranked 14th.“Our breastrokers, backstrokers and flyers are going to help us out a lot this weekend,” junior Lindsay Vrooman said. “I know that we’re going to need our freestylers to step up. UVA has some of the best freestylers in the country, so I know this meet is going to be a huge challenge for me along with some of the other girls.”Because the women’s team has changed up some of their relays, it will be interesting to see how they compare to No. 10 Virginia and Penn State, Vrooman said.Freshman and holder of two NCAA provisional times Brooklyn Snodgrass has remained undefeated in the 100 and 200 backstroke throughout the season. After her performance at the Texas/Michigan tri-meet, Snodgrass was named Big Ten Swimmer and Freshman of the Week on Oct. 30.In the 100 breaststroke, senior Ashley Specht has posted an NCAA B cut and freshman Madeline Maher has hit a provisional mark in the 200 breaststroke.For the men’s team, Schmuhl has contributed to Indiana’s depth with two NCAA provisional cuts in the 200 backstroke and 200 butterfly, along with junior Cody Miller, who started the season off with NCAA B cuts in the 100 and 200 breaststroke, and junior James Wells, who posted a provisional time in the 100 backstroke.“The men’s team has really stepped up our game since the last duel meet with Michigan and Texas,” Schmuhl said, “It was a shock in the system for some of our swimmers, and it really gave us a good perspective on what we need to do in order to reach our goals for the end of the season.” With their losses coming to No. 1 Michigan and No. 4 Texas, the No. 7 Hoosier men are more battle hardened and look to come back with a vengeance, IU Coach Ray Looze said. “Both the staff and team are constantly looking to get better every day,” Looze said. “That is why we swim the most difficult dual meet schedule in the nation.”The men’s team will be up against another fierce competitor this weekend as they compete against No. 8 Virginia and No. 24 Penn State.In the middle distances, senior Jim Barbiere has performed for IU with top times in the 100 freestyle, 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle.The Hoosier divers are expecting to come out of this weekend victorious against Virginia and Penn State. “I really think that everyone on the team has put themselves in a good position to dive well this weekend,” senior Mick Dell’Orco said. “I’d definitely expect (junior) Darian Schmidt to do well this weekend. He has been lights out in practice, and I also wouldn’t be surprised to see (senior) Casey Johnson be a top finisher for us.” Schmidt, an All-American diver, has led the Hoosiers on the 1-meter and 3-meter springboard.After this weekend, the IU swimming and diving team will wrap up the semester at the USA Swimming Winter Nationals from Nov. 29 to Dec. 1 and the OSU Invitational from Nov. 30 to Dec.3.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>The IU men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams competed against Texas and Michigan Friday and Saturday at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center.The women’s team defeated the Wolverines 223-77 and fell to the Longhorns 172-128, while the men’s team dropped both matches, falling to No. 5 Texas 185-115, and to No. 2 Michigan 223-77.First place finishers for the women’s team included junior Lindsay Vrooman (1,000 freestyle, 9:45.42 and 500 freestyle, 4:48.85), sophomore Cynthia Pammett (200 freestyle, 1:48.90) and freshman Brooklyn Snodgrass (100 backstroke, 54.14 and 200 backstroke, 1:56.05).In both of Snodgrass’ backstroke events, the Hoosier freshman remained undefeated.“We are strong in backstroke yet lack depth,” IU Coach Ray Looze said. “If the freshmen develop quickly, we will have the depth we need to be successful at the conference meet.”Freshman Haley Lips posted a second-place finish in the 200 butterfly, touching the wall at 1:59.22. Junior Brenna MacLean followed in third with a time of 2:01.82.Adding on to a victory in the 200 freestyle, Pammett took second place in the 200 backstroke (1:57.94) behind Snodgrass.

Her fourth top-three finish of the day came when she placed second in the 400 individual medley (4:19.51).Clocking in at 3:22.35, IU took third in the 400-freestyle relay with Pammett, Snodgrass, Armstrong and Vrooman.For the women divers, senior Amy Cozad placed third on the 1-meter springboard with a score of 284.40 and also took third in the 3-meter event posting a score of 326.65.The men’s team fell to both Texas and Michigan.“Of course there is pressure to do well in the collegiate season, but in the grand scheme of things, rankings are just numbers,” sophomore Steve Schmuhl said. “We don’t want to get wrapped up in things that we have little control over.”In the 1,000 freestyle, senior Ryan Downey was the top Hoosier finisher, touching the wall with a time of 9:31.75.Junior Cody Miller was a second-place finisher in both the 100 breaststroke (55.26) and the 200 breaststroke (1:58.96).A team of junior Eric Ress, Miller, Schmuhl and senior Daniel Knorr combined to finish third in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:29.71.Placing second in the 100 backstroke, junior James Wells posted a time of 48.37, while Ress was fourth with a time of 48.60.Senior Jim Barbiere was sixth in the 200 freestyle posting a time of 1:38.45, placed fifth in the 100 free with a time of 45.63 and finished fourth in the 500 freestyle in 4:26.54.In the 200 backststroke, Ress and Schmuhl went 2-3 with Ress posting a time of 1:45.66 and Schmuhl touching the wall in 1:46.12.Schmuhl raced to his third top-three finish of the night as he placed second in the 400 individual medley (3:54.50), while Ress was seventh (4:00.49).For the IU men’s divers, senior Casey Johnson finished third on the 3-meter springboard (343.60), with junior Darian Schmidt fifth (313.85) and senior Mick Dell’Orco sixth (312.70). Schmidt placed fourth (318.45) on the 1-meter board followed by Dell’Orco in sixth (297.45) and Johnson seventh (289.05).In the 400 freestyle relay, the team of Barbiere, Kanorr, Wells and Miller finished seventh posting a time of 3:04.64.The Hoosiers will compete against Penn State and Virginia in a double dual meet at home on Nov. 16 and 17.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>A Muncie native, former Hoosier swimmer Lary Schulhof is one of seven honorees who will be inducted into the IU Athletics Hall of Fame at its annual dinner Nov. 2.As a member of the IU swimming team from 1962-64, Schulhof was a student working on attaining his doctorate in neurosurgery and a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.Schulhof had many commitments and obligations to a variety of people and organizations during his collegiate career. If he wanted to be a successful athlete and student, Schulhof said he had no choice between sleeping, studying, partying and training.“I think a lot of people had a lot of different activities, and I was just like them, and I really had to budget my time,” Schulhof said.With workouts from 6 to 8 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m., Schulhof would return from practice and grab a late meal with the other athletes at the SAE house, where he resided three of his four years at IU. Despite juggling athletics, a rigorous class schedule and SAE fraternity obligations, Schulhof earned All-American honors four times.During his swimming career at IU, Schulhof posted six top five finishes at the NCAA Championships.A U.S. National Champion in the 100 and 200 butterfly in 1962, member of the world record relay teams in the 4x100 freestyle in 1964 and 4x100 medley in 1963, Schulhof was a member of the 1964 U.S. Olympic team in Tokyo.“I suddenly saw myself as world class,” Schulhof said. “It’s kind of like discovering that you can do it. You maybe sort of had your doubts that you’re maybe just another one of the swimmers out there, and suddenly, I’m being interviewed by ABC Sports.”During the six weeks leading up to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Schulhof had started medical school and resorted to swimming for half an hour at the Indiana Memorial Union pool during his 45-minute lunch break between classes.With no lane set aside and limited time to train, Schulhof performed the 100 butterfly in a fast enough time to make the U.S. Olympics team. “When I made the team, it opened so many doors,” Schulhof said. “When people know you were on the Olympic team, immediately you stand out in a group.”Schulhof did not swim in the final race, but his participation in qualifications earned him a gold medal in the 4x100 freestyle relay.Although Schulhof competed at the highest level with the greatest athletes of his time, he said this achievement is small compared to setting world records. “You can win national championships, and you can make Olympic teams, and you can do a lot of great things, but it’s pretty rare to set a world record,” Schulhof said. “I was fortunate enough to have one individual and two relay world records, and in my heart, having three world records was probably one of the most important accomplishments of mine because world records don’t come very often.”Schulhof said he is flattered to be honored in the Hall of Fame with other IU swimmers who he considers to be the very pinnacle of success in the sport.“It is just a dream come true,” Schulhof said. “I have always been a huge IU fan down here in Tar Heel country, N.C., and I just am such a fan.“To be recognized by Indiana University, it’s very special.”

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>The IU men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will compete against Texas and Michigan at 4:30 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. Saturday in Austin, Texas.“This meet will be one of the highest levels of competition that the team gets prior to Big Tens,” sophomore Steve Schmuhl said. “Michigan and Texas are top-tier teams, but if the team swims up to our potential, it will be a very close race.”Coming off its first dual meet and two victories against Kentucky and Tennessee, the men’s team will look to Schmuhl and juniors Eric Ress, James Wells and Cody Miller to contribute first-place finishes. Coaches will encourage the freshman to perform to their full abilities and add to the Hoosiers’ depth. Freshman Tanner Kurz, third-place finisher in the 100 backstroke last weekend, is expected to put points on the board for IU. “All of our top-end guys swam very well, putting up nationally competitive times,” Ress said, “Our bottom end needs to step up, but that will, without a doubt, come with training and adjusting to the workload for underclassmen.”For the women’s team, Canadian native and freshman Brooklyn Snodgrass will be a threat to the Wolverines and the Longhorns in the backstroke events.In the season opener, Snodgrass touched the wall in first place in both the 100 and 200-yard backstroke events.“We are strong in backstroke yet lack depth,” IU Coach Ray Looze said. “If the freshmen develop quickly, we will have the depth we need to be successful at the conference meet.”Although there is pressure to compete well in the collegiate season, the Hoosiers focus on swimming at the highest level possible and emphasize the importance of cheering each other on while doing so. “The team is just one big family,” Schmuhl said, “It’s like having 30 brothers and 30 sisters ... We have one of the best team chemistries in the NCAA.”Junior Lindsay Vrooman was a top scorer for the women’s team last weekend as she placed first in the 1,000-yard freestyle and second in the 500 freestyle. Freshman Taylor O’Brien finished behind Vrooman in both events.“Our biggest team strength right now is that we a very unified as a team right now,” Vrooman said, “I’ve never been on a team that was this supportive of each other.” Junior Darian Schmidt and senior Mick Dell’Orco led the men’s diving team in points against Kentucky and Tennessee while the women’s divers failed to produce any top-three finishes. Looking to Friday’s meet, the IU swimmers and divers hope to compete to their fullest against Texas and Michigan.“Our head coach Ray always says we swim fast when we’re having fun, so I can guarantee that we’re going to be enjoying this meet a lot more than the other two teams,” Vrooman said.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>With the Indiana swimming and diving team finishing offseason training, several returning individuals boasting various summer accolades and the addition of a hyped freshman class, prospects are high as the Hoosiers head into their first regular season meet Friday.The team will travel to Lexington, Ky., for a dual meet against Kentucky and Tennessee.“We are competing against two SEC teams, so anytime you’re competing against the SEC, you have to bring your A game,” IU Assistant Head Coach Donny Brush said. “We have two cohesive units, but it will be interesting to see how they respond when they are put up against some competition and adversity.” Following the loss of Brittany Strumbel, Allysa Vavra, Margaux Farrell and Laura Ryan, four leading scorers on the women’s team last season, the Hoosiers will want the incoming freshman class to step up immediately. Freshmen Brooklyn Snodgrass and Haley Lips will make their collegiate debuts for IU in Friday’s dual meet. Snodgrass, a Canadian swimmer who won three gold medals at the 2011 Age-Group Nationals, finished sixth in the 100-meter backstroke and 11th in the 200-meter backstroke at Canadian Olympic Trials in April. Last summer, Lips won two gold medals at the YMCA National Long Course Championships in the 400-meter freestyle with a national record time of 4:17.56 and the 200-meter individual medley with a time of 2:19.52. Lips is also a member of the USA Swimming 2012-13 Junior National team.The two are part of a freshman class that consists of 26 men’s and women’s swimmers.“They are the strongest group of freshmen that I’ve seen since I’ve been here,” junior Cody Miller said. “They’ve really integrated into the program and have started competing well in workouts better than other freshmen have in the past, even better than my class did, which is pretty big.”On the men’s side, junior Eric Ress will return to his first meet since the 2011 NCAA Championships after sitting out the 2011-12 season to train for the London Olympics. Although Ress fell three-tenths of a second short of qualifying for last summer’s Olympics, the 2011 NCAA runner up in both the 100- and 200-yard backstroke said his return to collegiate swimming is much anticipated.“I’m really swimming for something bigger than myself, so I’ve never been more excited than I am for this dual meet,” Ress said, “I’m really pumped about it.”In addition to Ress’ scoring potential, the Hoosiers return all nine of its point scorers from a top 10 finish in last March’s NCAA Championships.One of those scorers, sophomore Steve Schmuhl, placed 14th in the 200-meter butterfly in the NCAA as a freshman.In a breakout summer, Schmuhl qualified for the 2012 Short Course World Championships after earning a bronze medal at the U.S. Open in the 400-meter individual medley. “We had a great preseason, and everybody seems a lot more fit than they’ve been in the past,” Brush said. “Obviously, I think Schmuhl had an outstanding summer, so as a freshman last year coming in, we are looking for big things from him.”As Friday’s meet approaches, the Hoosiers anticipate it being a stepping stone into a new season. The team knows more important meets wait for it down the line, but the swimmers said they look forward to the challenge of a season opener. “We train through the dual meets and work on little things in the meets that we work on in practice to get better, so if we don’t do great, it’s not that big of a deal,” senior Mick Dell’Orco said. “As long as we keep doing the right things, it will all come together at the end.”
