Butler defeated Valparaiso 141-120 in the 17th annual Butler Invite on Sunday afternoon. The event was held at the Fishers High School Natatorium in Fishers, Indiana. Butler also honored its 10 seniors — Sadie Brown, Ava McGonigle, Olivia McKee, Elizabeth Naylor, Sophie Resner, Kate Schilling, Olivia Stotts, Megan VanValkenburgh, Cotter Welch and Caroline Zimner — and their contributions to the program over the past four seasons.

Final Results
Butler University: 141 points
Valparaiso University: 120 points

"Today's meet was extremely exciting and heartwarming as we honored our 10 seniors on the team," assistant coach Hannah Cressman said. "On top of a win in our final dual meet of the season, it was especially gratifying to reflect on the legacy this senior class has left on Butler swimming."

"They have changed our team's culture, our team's record board and our belief in what we are capable of both individually and as a team. In recognition of all they have contributed to the program, the coaches named the entire class the swimmer of the meet."
