LePine Highlights Big Second Day at House of Champions Invitational

November 22, 2024

INDIANAPOLIS, IND- The Milwaukee swimming and diving team returned for day two of IU Indy's House of Champions Invitational. The men were highlighted by a new school-record in the 200 medley relay, as well as a new freshman-record from Caleb Carlisle in the 100 butterfly. The women were led by Gabrielle LePine winning the 50 and 100 breaststrokes.
 
After two days of the event the women sit in fifth place with 450 points, while the men are in sixth with 411 points.
 
The 200 medley relay team of Victor Kostov, Andrew Jones, Caleb Carlisle, and Ben Lorenz got things started early for the Panthers finishing in 1:28.71, taking down the previous school-record of 1:29.36. Carlisle moved into the record books during the 100 butterfly prelims as well touching the wall in 48.14, beating the old best mark of 48.71 by a Milwaukee freshman in the event. He finished his day with another impressive performance in the finals, taking fourth with a time of 48.25.
 
LePine continued her dominance in the breaststroke this season, claiming the top spot in both the 50 (28.34), and 100 (1:01.94). The two-time Horizon League Swimmer of the Week has won every breaststroke event she has competed in this season.
 
In both the 200 medley (1:41.69), and 800 freestyle (7:32.56) relays, the women swam to a strong fifth place. The men followed up their school record in the 200 medley with a sixth-place finish (6:44.49) in the 800 freestyle relay.
 
In the 400 individual medley, Jay Jensen finished in the fifth spot with his time of 3:55.75, while Erika Thomas (4:28.99) grabbed eighth in the event on the women's side.
 
Andrew Jones made the finals in both the 50 (25.44) and 100 (55.64) breaststroke, finishing in seventh place both events.
 
On the diving boards, the women were on the 3m today with two Panthers finding the top-10. Julie Rebek (243.90) placed sixth, while Therese Missiaen (221.70) landed in ninth. Ben Stitgen (229.85) was on the one meter taking 11th on the day.
