Day One Results
 
INDIANAPOLIS – The Butler swim team competed in two relay events on Wednesday to signal the start of the 2024 BIG EAST Swimming Championships. The meet is held in downtown Indianapolis this year at the IUPUI Natatorium. The 200 Medley Relay team set a new school record and Kate Schilling set a new school record for BU while competing in the 800 Free Relay. 

"We had a strong start to the meet and tonight got us excited for the days ahead," Assistant Coach Allie Carmichael said. "Starting off the meet with a Butler record was incredibly exciting and showed exactly what the coaches know this team is capable of. Followed up by another school record in the 200 free by Kate and great 800 free relay put Butler in a great position to attack the rest of the meet!"
