The 2017 Purdue Invite kicked off Thursday morning at the Boilermaker Aquatic Center in West Lafayette, IN and these teams didn't hold off until finals to swim fast.

On the women's side, Purdue's Kaersten Meitz had the swim of the morning -- throwing down a 4:36.71 in the 500, only four tenths of a second off of an NCAA 'A' Cut (4:36.30).

On the men's side, Florida stole the show at the top end led by Caeleb Dressel, Jan Switkowski, and Khader Baqlah. Dressel swam an "off-event" with the 200 IM, throwing down a 1:43.98. He also popped off a 19.1 in an exhibition of the 50.
