Congratulations to our Olympic Gold Medalist Lilly King! #GoIU #IUinRio #OlympicGames pic.twitter.com/XtEGOPa6KZ — Indiana University (@IUBloomington) August 9, 2016 King is the first Hoosier woman to medal in an individual Olympic swimming event in program history and the first IU woman to medal in a swimming event since Margaux Farrell in 2012, who won bronze on France's 4x200m freestyle team. King, a sophomore at Indiana, is the first Indiana swimmer to win gold in an individual event since 1976. King's medal is the third swimming medal for the Hoosiers already in Rio, as IU alum Cody Miller won bronze in the men's 100m breaststroke and IU junior Blake Pieroni earned a gold medal as a member of Team USA's 4x100m freestyle relay team on Sunday. The Olympic gold medal caps a dominant year for King in the 100m breast. As a freshman, King won the Big Ten Championship, the NCAA Championship and the Olympic Trials in the 100m breast prior to her gold medal in Rio. King also owns the Indiana school record, the American SCY record and the NCAA record in the event. The Evansville, Ind. product will also swim the 200m breaststroke and the 4x100m medley relay for Team USA later in the week. .@IUTrackXC boy's reaction #GoHoosiers #24Sports1Team @OurIndiana pic.twitter.com/8uhk9yzvV4 — Jackson Bertoli (@Jbert_Xc) August 9, 2016 Women's 100 Breaststroke 1.
