Another great day in the pool.

[go iu bb 5,429]

Women off to a good start at the B1G Championship meet. 3rd and 1st in the 200 Medley and 800 free relays, respectively. NCAA A cuts in both.

After day, IU is in the lead with 118 points followed by OSU (116) and UM (112). The championship should be between those 3 schools but mostly IU and OSU.

IU in 3rd place after day 2, 18 points back of lead OSU. Their 400 Medley Relay got disqualified, costing them 64 points. That's rough but other than that they've done well.

IU moves to 2nd, 23 points behind OSU. They were helped by OSU having their only winning relay disqualified, costing them 64 points. That kept IU close despite OSU having an otherwise really big day.

That is wild that the top 2 teams each had a relay win that got DQ’d for an early takeoff.

The OSU DQ also cost them a meet record, which IU got.

There's close and then there's really close.  Women win the B1G by a half a point!

Doesn't get much closer than that. Congratulations to the women on their win.

The last relay was intense.

0.5 point difference with 1359 points scored is only 0.37%.

IU still in to after day 2. They won the 400 medley relay.

IU killed it yesterday, increasing their lead to 176 points. Multiple champions and many other great finishes  Frankel got the night started off with a meet record in the 100 fly.

IU men join the women as B1G Champions. Unlike the women, this one wasn't very close. Another strong day with multiple wins. 1-2n in the 200 back. They took 1-4 in the 200 breast, which is impressive. 2-3 in the 200 fly. 1 and 3 in platform diving. They won all but 1 relay this meet.

I would love to win the NCAA Title, we have been so close in the Top 3 so many times these last few years

I don't see that happening this year. They should still finish high (3-5 range) but losing Ahmed Hafnaoui really hurt. Even with him, I don't think they'd have enough to beat ASU and Cal.

Unfortunately, since Cal is aiming for a 3-peat

ASU is a serious threat to that.

Very serious, likely going to be the Top 2 battle again for this championship
