2021 Big Ten Women’s Championships Day 1 Recap: Ohio State Takes Medley Relay, MacNeil Swims Fastest Ever 50 Back
The 2021 Big Ten Women’s Championships began on Tuesday with Day 1 from Minneapolis.
The first day is just an appetizer with the 200 medley relay and 800 free relay. Both events are timed finals.
Michigan’s Maggie MacNeil swam the fastest backstroke leadoff in the 200 medley relay, a DQ by Indiana might prove costly, but it was Ohio State that finished in the top three in both relays, including an opening win, and took a first-day lead in the meet.

Women’s 200 Medley Relay
The opening session began with the 200 medley relay timed finals.
Ohio State took home the first win as Emily Crane, Hannah Bach, Katherine Zenick and Freya Rayner finished in 1:34.46.
The time broke the pool record and was an automatic qualifying time for NCAAs.
Meanwhile Indiana disqualified and the Hoosiers find themselves in an early hole, replicating what they did in 2020.
Northwestern surged to second behind Emma Lepisova, Sophie Angus, Miriam Guevara and Madeline Smith (1:36.20), also an “A” cut as the Wildcats are the top ranked team in the Big Ten in the CSCAA Division I poll.
Michigan finished third, also in an “A” cut as Maggie MacNeil, Claire Tuttle, Olivia Carter and Daria Pyschnenko finished in 1:36.34. MacNeil’s split of 23.02 is the fastest 50 back of all-time as she was a 23.05 last year in leading off Michigan’s medley relay at this meet.
