The 2021 Big Ten Women’s Championships continued on Friday with the Day 4 finals from Minneapolis.
The events are the 100 backstroke, 100 breaststroke, 200 fly, platform diving and the 200 free relay.
Ohio State still has a sizeable lead, which continues to grow despite the elite performance by the Wolverines, including a Big Ten meet record in the 200 fly set by Olivia Carter. The Buckeyes continue to grow their lead with their depth, especially after winning the 200 free relay to close the session.
