2022 Big Ten Men’s Championships: Ohio State Starts with 200 Medley Record
The 2022 Big Ten Men’s Championships rightly roared out of the gates Wednesday night at Purdue University. Two heats into the meet brought a conference record, four swims under the pool record and two DQs in a bonkers opening 200 medley relay.
Ohio State, whose women’s team won last week’s Big Ten Championships, is on top early Thursday on the first of four days in Lafayette.

200 medley relay
Pace yourself, boys, it’s going to be a long meet to start this chaotically.
Right out of the gate, Ohio State was all gas, no brakes. The team of Hunter Armstrong, Hudson McDaniel, Alex Quach and Sem Andreis blasted a 1:22.13 to earn gold, an NCAA A cut and down the conference record set last year by Michigan. It also downs the pool record that Michigan’s 2016 side had set.
? And just like that the Buckeyes are on the board! ?

Ohio State was out fast, nearly a half-second up at the halfway point thanks to Armstrong leading off in 20.45 and McDaniel going 23.04. The teams in second and third at that point ended up getting disqualified.
Indiana mounted a charge, with Bruno Blaskovic going 18.51 off the end, but they ended up second in 1:22.51. That, and Michigan’s third-place 1:22.90, are both A cuts, as was Northwestern in fourth in 1:23.54.
Armstrong had the fastest backstroke swim of the race. William Chan of Michigan (22.76) was the quickest breaststroker with Minnesota’s Max McHugh DQed. Tomer Frankel of Indiana delivered a 19.78 butterfly leg.
On those DQs, Minnesota had two swimmers in the negative on reaction time, while Wisconsin also got DQed. The Golden Gophers entered just .15 off the NCAA B cut. They time trialed a 1:24.56 later in the night, an NCAA B cut, with McHugh splitting 22.98.

Minnesota finished fifth, with Bar Soloveychik going 1:33.56 off the front. That lowers the Minnesota school record that had stood since 2005 (1:34.24 by Terry Silkaitis).
