Indiana representatives win 3 medals at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris

Blake Pieroni, Anna Peplowski and Lilly King – three names that, as representatives of Indiana University, will forever be associated with medals at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Pieroni was the first to claim the honor, securing the silver medal for Team USA in the men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay. In the women's edition of the event, rising senior Anna Peplowski won the silver medal for Team USA.

In King's first two competitions at Paris 2024, she finished fourth in the 100-meter breaststroke and failed to qualify for the final of the 200-meter breaststroke. But in her final event of the Games and her Olympic career, King won gold for Team USA in the 4×100-meter medley relay.

Former and current IU athletes also competed in the other Olympic Games. In addition to the medal winners, Indiana sent five swimmers and divers to Team USA.

Rising senior Carson Tyler competed in both the men's 3-meter springboard and 10-meter platform events, placing fourth in the 3-meter and failing to advance past the preliminary round in the 10-meter.

Indiana graduate Andrew Capobianco competed alongside Tyler in the 3-meter platform but failed to advance past the semifinals. Fellow sprinter Jessica Parratto competed with Delaney Schnell in the women's synchronized 10-meter platform and finished sixth with a score of 287.52, 16.86 points behind the bronze medalists.

Rising senior Mariah Denigan made history as the first Indiana athlete to ever compete in an open water swimming event and only the fourth American woman in U.S. Olympic history to compete in the event, finishing 16th in the women's marathon swimming event.

In the men's 200-meter breaststroke, rising senior Josh Matheny finished sixth in the race for the medals.

In addition to Team USA, many athletes from countries around the world competed in Indiana.

Rising senior Rafael Miroslaw competed for Germany in three different events. His best achievement was the men's 4×100-meter freestyle relay, where he helped his group finish seventh in the race for the medals. He also finished eighth in the final of the 4×100-meter freestyle relay and reached the semifinals of the 200-meter freestyle relay.

Another rising senior competing in the Olympics was Tomer Frankel, who swam for Israel in four events. His best result was in the men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay, where Israel finished ninth, 0.66 seconds behind Miroslaw and Germany. In his other three events, Frankel did not make it past the preliminary rounds.

Former Hoosier Marwan Elkamash swam for Egypt in the men's 800-meter freestyle, finishing eighth in the preliminary heat. Kotryna Teterevkova, who had spent the year training with Indiana, finished fifth in the medal race for Lithuania in the women's 200-meter breaststroke.

Rising senior Ching Hwee Gan competed for Singapore in the women's 800-meter freestyle, 1500-meter freestyle and 4×100-meter individual medley.

With the three podium places, Indiana University increases its medal tally to 127, including 62 gold, 27 silver and 38 bronze medals.
