The 2021 Big Ten Women’s Championships continued on Saturday with the Day 5 prelims from Minneapolis.
The events are the 100 freestyle, 200 backstroke and 200 breaststroke before the 1,650 freestyle heats begin.
Ohio State might not be able to be caught with a sizeable lead and one day to go, especially after placing the most in the finals on Day 5, but that all will be determined in the water.
