Heat Sheets – Early Miles Heats
As a big performance from the Ohio State freshman class is carrying the Buckeye women back to the top of the standings at the Big Ten Championships, a big relay DQ from Michigan on Friday evening has dramatically swung the momentum of the meet – likely eliminating them from title contention and putting them in third place behind the defending champions from Indiana.
There are four races on Saturday morning: the 200 back, 100 free, 200 breast, and 200 fly, plus prelims of platform diving. Then the early heats of the timed-finals in the 1650 free will begin at 3:15 Eastern Time, with the fastest heat to be swum with finals starting at 5:30.
All of the defending champions from last year return in their respective races with the exception of Katie Crom, who still has eligibility left but who hasn’t raced for Michigan since the Olympic Trials.
In spite of lots of returning champions, that doesn’t mean that there will be title defenses. With the addition of swimmers like Kaitlyn Dobler from USC in the 200 breaststroke, and performances like that of Stephanie Balduccini from Michigan, the only defending champion who is the top seed is Phoebe Bacon in the 200 back.
Bacon is both a two-time NCAA Champion in that event (2021, 2024) and a three-time Big Ten Champion (2021, 2022, 2024) in the 200 back.
