The live event, which celebrates athletes from across the state, is Sunday, April 27 at Clowes Memorial Hall at Butler University. Doors open at 4 p.m. with the show beginning at 5 p.m.

White went to West Lebanon High School and graduated in 1995. She then attended Purdue University for four years before being drafted by the WNBA’s Charlotte Sting in the second round of the 1999 draft.

White played her rookie year in Charlotte, before being acquired before the next season in the expansion draft by the Fever, where she played until 2004. Since then, she has made various stops on the coaching trail, including as head coach at Vanderbilt from 2016-21, as head coach of the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun in 2023-24, and now the Fever.

Just days after entering the transfer portal and less than a week after competing at the 2025 NCAA Championships, Macky Hodges has announced she will transfer to Indiana beginning in fall 2025. Hodges spent her first two seasons with USC and qualified individually for NCAAs in both seasons.

“I have always had a lot of respect for Coach Looze and the IU program. They have such a fun vibe surrounding them at all the meets i’ve seen them at, and that’s something you can’t help but want to be a part of. I just feel super lucky to be able to join the Hoosier family and see what I can really do with my swimming,” Hodges told SwimSwam.

Hodges will travel east after training with Sandpipers of Nevada during her club career.

Time Progression

The Hoosier women captured the 2024 Big Ten title and finished 2nd behind Ohio State this year. The team had their highest finish ever at the NCAA level last week as they finished 4th. The team’s 800 free relay notably finished 8th, right behind USC’s 7th place relay.
