The Big Ten announced Wednesday that IU juniors Blake Pieroni and Michael Hixon were named Big Ten Swimmer of the Week and Diver of the Week, respectively.
This is the third time this year Peroni has earned the award and the sixth time in his career.
Hixon also earned Diver of the Week for the third time this season and overall boasts seven nods to this point in his career.
In a win over No. 4 Louisville last Friday, Pieroni won both the 100 and 200-yard freestyle with NCAA B cut times.
He also helped win the 400-yard freestyle relay in 2:56.11.
Hixon dominated in diving by sweeping the 1 and 2-meter springboard events with NCAA qualifying scores in both.
The Hoosiers now turn their sights to the Big Ten Championships, which will take place Feb. 22-25 in Columbus, Ohio.
