IU swimmer Lilly King wins in first meet since Rio Olympics

Little more than 10 weeks after striking Olympic gold, swimmer Lilly King is a winner again.

The Indiana University sophomore won her specialty, the 100-meter breaststroke, at Bloomington in her first official meet since Rio de Janeiro. The Hoosiers' men beat two-time defending NCAA champion Texas 149-132 and Florida 181-100 Friday. IU's women beat Florida 150-131 and lost to Texas 170-106.

King's time was 1:09.05, compared with runner-up Olivia Anderson of Texas, 1:09.76. King set an Olympic record of 1:04.93.

King finished third in the 200 breaststroke after her goggles broke early in the race.

Elsewhere, IU's Blake Pieroni beat Texas' Townley Haas in the 100 freestyle, 50.14 to 50.79.  They won Olympic gold medals in the 400 and 800 freestyle relays, respectively. Haas, who was fifth in the 200 freestyle at Rio, edged PIeroni in that event, 1:51.29 to 1:51.44.

Texas' Tasija Karosas won the women's 100 backstroke in 1:03.06. Texas freshman Claire Adams, a 16-time state champion from Carmel making her collegiate debut, was second in 1:03.76. It was Adams' first meet since competing at the U.S. Olympic Trials despite a broken hand.

Indiana's Ian Finnerty won the men's 100 breaststroke in 1:05.11. Florida freshman Chandler Bray, who set a national high school record while at Avon, was fourth in 1:06.33.

Purdue divers defeat Johnson

Steele Johnson won in 1-meter diving, but was beaten by two Purdue teammates in the 3-meter at West Lafayette. It was Johnson's first meet since teaming with David Boudia for a silver medal in the synchronized 10-meter at Rio.

Johnson had a score of 410.10 on 1-meter. Brian Loschiavo (392.78), Joseph Cifelli (383.58) and Johnson (372.23) were 1-2-3 on 3-meter. The Boilermakers beat Miami (Ohio) 201.5-93.5.
