May 6-9, 2026 IU Natatorium, Indianapolis, Indiana Long Course Meters (50m), Prelims/Finals Psych Sheets Livestreams (click “Live” tab) Live-ish Results (PDFs updated throughout the meet) Results PDFs: Day 1Some of the top swimmers from around the Midwest, including undergrads and postgrads from Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan, and Louisville, are descending on Indianapolis this weekend for the Indy Spring Cup.
The racing kicked off on Wednesday evening with the 1500 frees, where amid a field of All-Americans and Olympians, it was Dziugas Miskinis from Lithuania who won the 1500 free in a new National Record of 15:11.86.
That swim took almost 10 seconds off his own mark of 15:21.69 that was done two-and-a-half years ago at the 2023 Greek Winter Championships.
Miskinis broke through his plateau by going out way more conservatively, and he was rewarded later in the race, especially in the back half, with a much flatter pacing curve.

While the Kentucky program has had ups-and-downs competitively over the last decade, success in the men’s distance free program have been consistent. The Wildcats went 1-2 in this race, with Carson Hick placing 2nd in 15:26.04.
U.S. Olympian Luke Whitlock finished 3rd in 15:26.62, followed by Isaac Fleig (15:33.88) and Canadian Olympian Lorne Wigginton (15:47.94).
Ohio State freshman Adair Shaw, meanwhile, won the women’s race in 16:50.76, finishing more than 22 seconds ahead of the field. Along with a 16:52 at the US Open in December, Shaw has dropped nearly eight seconds since arriving at Ohio State from her native South Carolina.
She might have more ahead of her – she dropped 19 seconds in the 1650 yard free during her freshman season to qualify for the NCAA Championships as a rookie.
Looking Ahead
There are lots of big names in this race, and Thursday morning will kick off with a bang in the women’s 100 free.
The top seed is Indiana freshman Liberty Clark, who had a huge breakout season after splitting focus with volleyball in high school. There, she placed 4th in the 100 yard free, and she’s arguably even better in long course.
She leads a field that includes her teammates Anna Peplowski and Kristina Paegle; Louisville’s Caroline Larsen and Julie Mishler; and Olympian Alex Shackell, among others.
Shackell, who represents Indiana collegiately but trains mostly at home with the Carmel Swim Club, is also entered in the 100 back, 200 back, and 400 IM in addition to her primary 100 and 200 meter butterfly events.
The top seed in the men’s 100 free is Olympic relay gold medalist Matt King.
The men’s 100 breaststroke will also have a highlight field, led by three Indiana Hoosiers: Josh Matheny, Van Mathias, and Alexei Avakov.
16-year-old Wilson York from Lakeside Swim Team in Kentucky is also entered in that race as the 7th seed – he may be the future of American men’s breaststroking.
Prelims for the rest of the meet begin at 9AM Eastern Time with finals at 6PM Eastern Time.
