IU swimmer earns weekly Big Ten honor

IU sophomore swimmer Eric Ress was named Big Ten Swimmer of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.

Ress swam in eight events — winning six of them — this weekend as the Hoosiers opened with dual meets against Northwestern and Kentucky.

Against Northwestern on Friday, Ress won the 200-yard medley relay, 100 backstroke, 200 backstroke and 100 butterfly.

The following day, Ress took victories in the 100 butterfly and 200 individual medley.
The Hoosiers won both meets, defeating Northwestern 159-131 and Kentucky 155-126.

IU will not compete this weekend as it prepares for a double dual meet against Michigan and Texas on Nov. 5-6 in Bloomington.
