Adele Sands was 3rd at 51.38, and Reagan Mattice finished 4th in 51.44.

Phipps was one of the two-event winners for Purdue. She won the 100 free in 49.90, touching more than a second ahead of Hurley, who swam 51.20 to finish 2nd overall. This swim was only two tenths off her lifetime best of 49.69 and was three hundredths off the 49.87 she swam at last year’s Big Ten Championships.

She also won the 100 fly in 55.16, coming in eight tenths ahead of Purdue teammate Brinly Hardy‘s 55.98 for 2nd. This was just over half-a-second faster than the 55.67 she swam to open last season.

Senior Reagan Mattice anchored Purdue’s relay 400 freestyle relay, and she also picked up two-event wins of her own. She started the meet with a win in the 1000 freestyle with her swim of 10:04.63, coming in eight seconds ahead of Mizzou’s Zoe Schneider.

Mattice also won the 500 free in 4:57.61, just four tenths ahead of Caitlin Hurley‘s 4:58.06. She was about two-and-a-half seconds faster than the 5:00.19 she swam at the Team Be Better Invitational in September, marking a new season best time.

Kate Mouser was Purdue’s other two-event winner, taking the 200 free and 200 IM. In the 200 free, she stopped the clock in 1:49.22, finishing just two tenths ahead of Hurley, who finished 2nd in all three of her individual events.

In the 200 IM, Mouser swam 2:03.19, which was about half-a-second faster than the 2:03.70 that was her season best time last season. She also swam the 200 breaststroke, finishing 2nd in 2:19.29 behind Lina Bank‘s 2:18.39 from Mizzou.
