Senior captain Anna Peplowski won gold in the 200-yard freestyle in the 2025 women's national swimming championship.
Peplowski won the 200-yard freestyle by .06 seconds at the 2025 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships inside the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, Washington.
Peplowski’s final time of 1:40.50 was the seventh fastest in NCAA history.
“I knew coming off of Big Tens, it was going to be really competitive at NCAAs. I never kept my eye off the prize and tried to stay in my own lane and do my own race. Sometimes that is hard when you get consumed with what others are doing,” Peplowski said. “Swimming is so diverse and having the Big Ten represent on the big stage is really special.”
Coming off of an Olympic berth this summer, Peplowski talked about her final swim at Indiana at what you can expect from her next below.
Peplowski's title comes as Indiana's first-ever women's freestyle championship. It's also Indiana's first women's title since Tarrin Gillian as champion in 2022 as well as its first women's swimming title since Lilly King captured four straight in both the 100 and 200 breast from 2016-19. The IU women's program has won 19 championships overall per IU Athletics
