Hayden Sets Personal, Program Bests as Hoosiers Beat Evansville

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Senior diver Kristen Hayden broke a program record and set two personal bests on Friday (Jan. 28) as Indiana swimming and diving defeated Evansville inside Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center.

Hayden's 399.38 in the 3-meter dive marks the new dual meet standard for IU swimming and diving, besting the previous record set by Christina Loukas in 2006 (373.95). Her best dive, a forward 3 ½ somersault pike, scored a 76.73.

Hayden's 335.33 in her 1-meter dive victory also marks a career-high for the Hillsborough, N.J. native.

"It was a great showing for IU women's diving with Kristen Hayden breaking a dual meet record and trending towards some great diving that we hope to see in the postseason," IU head diving coach Drew Johansen said.
