It’s the first night of the 2024 Big Ten Championships and there are two relays on the schedule. The 200 medley relay will kick off the session, followed by the 800 freestyle relay.

Last year, Ohio State and Indiana split the day one relays. Ohio State touched for gold in the men’s 200 medley relay (1:23.03), before Indiana posted a new Big Ten record at the NCAA Championships (1:21.52). This year, Indiana (1:22.88) is the top entrant into the event, seeded with a time that would’ve won the 2023 Big Ten title. Indiana will have the opportunity to defend their 800 free relay title as well, as they are seeded first (6:15.55) by over three seconds.
