That time ranks No. 5 in program history and beat runner-up Louisville by 5.85 seconds.  Clark&#8217;s leadoff marks her first time under 1:42.00 and places her fifth in IU&#8217;s all-time performance list in the 200 free. Her best time coming into college was a 1:45.76.

To help Indy Eleven continue to grow and to impact the economic development of the Indianapolis region is nothing short of a dream opportunity,\u201d stated Huber.   Prior to joining Indy Eleven, Huber was most recently the Vice President, University Relations for Indiana University where he led Federal and State Government relations, economic development programs, student entrepreneurial programs, alumni entrepreneur funds, and the Center on Representative Government for IU. Prior to his role at Indiana University, Huber was the President &amp; CEO of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce for nine years, amongst other jobs prior at the Indianapolis Airport Authority and served as the Deputy Mayor of Economic Development for the City of Indianapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huber holds a Master of Business Administration from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, and a Bachelor of Science with a Major in Social Policy from Northwestern University. Michael and his wife Helen live in Indianapolis and have three children. For decades, Michael has maintained a busy side career as a pianist and music arranger, performing regularly throughout Indiana. \u201cOur work to make Indiana University an engine of the state\u2019s growth has been made stronger because of Michael\u2019s leadership,\u201d said IU President Pamela Whitten. \u201cFrom shaping economic development partnerships to his advocacy for IU, we are deeply grateful for his many contributions to IU\u2019s success and wish him well in his new adventures.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indiana University Women&#8217;s Basketball battles In-State Rival Butler\u00a0 \u00a0 The Indiana Hoosiers return home to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall for a 7 PM matchup this evening with their in state rivals the Butler Bulldogs with the game streaming on Big Ten Network Plus.\u00a0 Indiana is 4-0 and coming off a huge road win at Florida &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomingtonnews.online\/?p=11849\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Local Sports News: November 19, 2025<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Local Sports News: November 19, 2025 - Bloomington News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomingtonnews.online\/?p=11849\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Local Sports News: November 19, 2025 - Bloomington News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Indiana University Women&#8217;s Basketball battles In-State Rival Butler\u00a0 \u00a0 The Indiana Hoosiers return home to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall for a 7 PM matchup this evening with their in state rivals the Butler Bulldogs with the game streaming on Big Ten Network Plus.\u00a0 Indiana is 4-0 and coming off a huge road win at Florida &hellip;
