Day two finals of the men's 2017 Big Ten Championship on Thursday night continued the brawl between the Indiana Hoosiers and the Michigan Wolverines in Columbus, Ohio, but Indiana holds on to a 100-point lead after winning the 200-yard IM, 50 freestyle, and 400 medley relay.

Indiana made it a 1-2 finish, with teammates Vini Lanza and Ian Finnerty both going under 1:42, just off ​Kyle Whitaker's​ Big Ten meet record. Finnerty had a strong breaststroke split of 29.00, which gave him a slight lead, but Lanza overpowered him with a quick 24.16 last 50 to take the win and a new Hoosier record.

Indiana's Ali Khalafalla went under 19 seconds for the first time, finishing in 18.94 to set a new school record in the process. Shane Ryan may have been missing some coffee in the morning session, because his 19.03 was .60 seconds faster than his prelim time. Minnesota's Bowen Becker was also close to breaking the 19-second barrier with a 19.08, creeping up on Derek Toomey's team record.

The Indiana Hoosiers broke the long-standing Big Ten record that featured Northwestern's Matt Grevers, Mike Alexandrov, Kyle Bubolz, and Bruno Barbic from 2007. Vini Lanza made a huge impact with a ridiculous 44.64 butterfly split, and Olympian Blake Pieroni followed suit by anchoring in 41.35. Ohio State came in second thanks to a fast 45.63 backstroke split from Matt McHugh and an impressive 45.09 butterfly leg from freshman Noah Lense. But it was Penn State's Shane Ryan who stole the show in the first four lengths, setting a new Big Ten record with his 44.95 backstroke leadoff. Minnesota came in third thanks to strong butterfly and freestyle splits from Tuomas Pokkinen (46.34) and Bowen Becker (41.92.)
