Event victories for Ben Bramley, Nick McDowell and Emily Meaney highlighted Purdue swimming & diving’s dual meet losses at nationally ranked Indiana on Saturday.

Bramley and Meaney teamed up for a sweep of the platform events. Bramley won by 67.35 points as the only Boilermaker competing in the men’s event. He posted a winning score of 339.30. The sophomore’s victory marked the sixth straight year that the Purdue men have won on 10-meter vs. the Hoosiers.

Meaney led the way as the Boilermakers finished 1-2-3-4 in the women’s event. Her winning score of 301.65 was only two points shy of her team season best. Maggie Merriman took second with a season-best and Zone-qualifying score of 268.20. Maycey Vieta placed third and later led the way as part of Purdue’s 2-3-4-5 finish on 1-meter.
