INCOMING PLAYERS:

• Mercedez Bray, Terre Haute, IN (100 Breaststroke - 1:08.46; 100 Butterfly - 1:00.58)

“Mercedez is a great fit for our program. She is versatile and will really help had some much needed depth to our roster. Mercedez will continue to develop as she gets stronger.” – Head Coach Matt Bos

• Mary Klueh, Evansville, IN (100 Breaststroke - 1:05.12; 200 Breaststroke - 2:26.18; 200 IM - 2:12.34)

“Mary is a great sprint breaststroker with the ability to swim the 200 as well. Mary will become an immediate contender at the conference championships and her speed will no doubt make a big impact on our medley relays.” – Head Coach Matt Bos

• Sarah Rozow, Milford, IN (100 Breaststroke - 1:09.82; 200 IM - 2:13.62)

“Sarah is very new to the sport and her upside is tremendous. Sarah really just started training full time this past year, so we will look for her to develop both in the pool as well as the weight room over the next couple of years.” – Head Coach Matt Bos

• Madison Taylor, Forsyth, GA (50 Freestyle - 24.17; 100 Freestyle - 52.74; 200 Freestyle - 1:56.32)

“Madison is an extremely strong athlete who we expect to be a mainstay on our sprint relays throughout her career. Madison is mainly a 50 and 100 swimmer, but has the ability to swim the 200, which is something we will look to develop.” – Head Coach Matt Bos

• Karyn Wade, Mansfield, OH (100 Butterfly - 59.56; 200 Butterfly - 2:12.65)

“Karyn is an enthusiastic kid who will add some much needed depth to our butterfly events. Karyn is still very raw and will benefit from a college training program.” – Head Coach Matt Bos 

2011-12 HIGH POINTS:

• Team re-wrote the school record books at the Summit League Championships breaking 16 school marks en route to a fourth-place finish.
• IUPUI went 9-1 in dual, tri-, and quad-meets with its lone loss coming to Oakland.

KEY STAT:

• At the Summit League Championships, IUPUI broke 16 school-records, with its most impressive coming in the 800 freestyle where the quartet of Bourgeois, Zehner, Oleksiak and Hurst broke the previous school record by more than 20 seconds.

REASON FOR OPTIMISM:

• IUPUI returns all but 40 points it earned from the Summit League Championships.
• The Jags mix a talented group of newcomers with an established collection of returners poised to continue the program’s rise up the Summit League standings.

QUOTABLE:
 
“I expect our program to continue to develop. We are coming off a successful year, but are really just starting to build our roster. We have a nice mix of some experience returning with some very talented youngsters. I think as our freshman develop so will our team as a whole.” – Head Coach Matt Bos
