Today marks the final day of the men's Big Ten Championships, and a tight battle is ensuing in Columbus, Ohio, between Indiana, Ohio State, and Michigan for the title, while, in an equally close race, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Purdue are vying for fourth place.

Indiana's Bob Glover took the top spot in this morning's prelim but is followed closely by Wisconsin's Brett Pinfold. Michigan placed three swimmers up in the A final and will look to capitalize on some serious points. 

1.) Robert Glover (Indiana ): 1:41.59

3.) Kenneth Mende (Iowa): 1:42.19

100 FREESTYLE

NCAA "A": 42.25
2016 Invited: 43.05

Wisconsin's Cannon Clifton took the top spot today in a new Badgers record of 42.00, but Shane Ryan and Blake Pieroni could very likely hit 41s as well tonight. Also keep an eye on the outside lanes for Paul Powers, the Big Ten champion in the 50. Indiana is looking to load up on some more points with three swimmers in the A final, two high up in the B final, and two in the C final. Minnesota could solidify fourth place with one in the A and two in the B.   

1.) Cannon Clifton (Wisconsin): 42.00
2.) Shane Ryan (Penn St): 42.14
3.) Bowen Becker (Minnesota): 42.24
4.) Blake Pieroni (Indiana): 42.24
5.) Josh Fleagle (OSU): 42.48
6.) Anze Tavcar (Indiana): 42.72

Purdue junior Marat Amaltdinov is tonight's top seed, followed by a pair of Wolverines: Chris Klein and Jacob Montague.
