We have arrived to the first real finals session of the 2025 Big Ten Women’s Championships, and all of tonight’s races are shaping up to be exciting, including the overall team race.
Based on our projections, without diving, Michigan could finish the day just 10 points ahead of Ohio State. This meet was decided by half-a-point last year, and we could see another incredibly close race, especially with the addition of diving to Indiana’s totals, though Ohio State put more divers in the ‘A’ final than IU did.
The meet opens with the women’s 500 freestyle, where the top five seeds are separated by barely over a second. Indiana senior Anna Peplowski is the top seed at 4:37.24, and Ching Gan from Indiana comes in seeded 5th at 4:38.58.
The 200 IM is shaping up to be even more exciting with Wisconsin 5th year Phoebe Bacon tying with Oho State Freshman Sienna Angove for first seed. They both swam 1:54.81 in the prelims, which was an add for Bacon and a best time for Angove. Bacon is also the only swimmer in the final not from Ohio State or Michigan.
Just half-a-second separated the 50 free ‘A’ final with Kristin Paegle taking the top seed for Indiana at 21.63.
The women’s 1-Meter Diving event will be the last individual event, and Purdue freshman Avery Worobel is the top seed. In the team race, Ohio State is going to pick up huge points on Michigan with two divers in the ‘A’ final and one in the ‘B’. Michigan only has one diver in scoring position. Indiana has the most divers who can score, with one in the ‘A’ final and three in the ‘B’.
Finally, the meet will end with the 200 freestyle relay. Michigan is the top seed in the event, and the favorites to win.
