Indiana, 1061.5 Michigan, 811 Ohio State, 712.5 Wisconsin, 569.5 Purdue, 527 Northwestern, 514 USC, 463.5 Minnesota, 430 Penn State, 307Welcome to the last prelims session of the 2026 Men’s Big Ten Championships! After three full days of racing, there are just four individual events this morning, the 200 IM, 100 freestyle, 200 butterfly, and 200 backstroke, with the 1650 freestyle and 400 free relay to be swum as timed finals tonight.
Pre-meet favorites Indiana hold a narrow 250.5-point lead over Michigan on their quest to win their fifth consecutive and 32nd-ever conference title. The Hoosiers hold the top seed in three of the four events this morning.
Senior Owen McDonald leads the way in the 200 IM, having opted for that event over the 200 back. He’s the defending champion and Big Ten Record holder in both, but the new NCAA event schedule has prompted him to reevaluate his slate of events. Junior Dylan Smiley tops the 100 free psych sheet, and sophomore Miroslav Knedla does the same in the 200 back.
On the Michigan side, senior Tyler Ray enters as the top seed in the 200 butterfly as he looks to complete his sweep of the flys.
Stay tuned for live updates.
