2024 MEN’S BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS

The final night of the 2024 Men’s Big Ten Championship meet is here. The session will begin with the fastest heat of the men’s 1650, followed by finals of the 200 back, 100 free, 200 breast, and 200 fly. Platform diving and the 400 free relay are also on the schedule, and will occur at the end of the night.

The defending champions, the Indiana Hoosiers, have put themselves in position to win this meet for the third-straight year. Hoosier Brendan Burns, who won the 100 back yesterday, will feature in both the 200 back and 200 fly tonight. He won the tough double last year, and is in position to challenge for both titles once again.

The Indiana breaststroke crew posted the top four times in this morning’s 200 breast, with junior Josh Matheny (1:52.06) leading the way. Michigan senior Bence Szabados recorded the fastest preliminary 100 free time, hitting the wall in 42.31.
