If you’re assembling a “Mount Rushmore” of athletes affiliated with Indiana University, or even just those from the state of Indiana, who have been active over the past few decades, including Lilly King isn’t even worth a discussion.
It’s obligatory.
King’s journey to swimming stardom began in Evansville, Indiana, where she sought out just about any body of water to get reps in on top of her high school natatorium. She was a two-time Indiana state runner-up in the 100-yard breaststroke before joining the storied Hoosiers swimming and diving program as a freshman in 2015.
From there, she took the swimming world by storm.
