Michigan junior Felix Aubock won his third straight Big Ten title in the 500 free as he swam a 4:09.37 on Thursday night at the 2019 Big Ten Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships at the University of Iowa. Aubock led a Michigan 1-2-3 with sophomore Ricardo Vargas (4:11.72) and freshman Patrick Callan (4:12.53). Aubock is now leading Division I with his swim as Vargas is now sitting in second.
Michigan had five total bodies in the A-Final in the 500 with sophomore Will Roberts (4:19.35) and senior Mokhtar Al-Yamani (4:21.36) finishing in sixth and seventh. Al-Yamani was the early leader through 150 yards but faded badly.
Indiana’s freshman duo of Mikey Calvillo (4:17.22) and Michael Brinegar (4:18.79) finished in fourth and fifth as the Hoosiers tried to stop the bleeding with all of the Michigan points there.
Ohio State’s Nicholas Hogsed (4:22.62) finished in eighth. Michigan has now won 24 of the last 27 Big Ten titles in the 500. Aubock is also the first three time winner in this event since Michigan’s Connor Jaeger won from 2012-2014.

50 Free
Minnesota senior Bowen Becker successfully defended his 50 free Big Ten title on Thursday night at the University of Iowa. Becker swam a 19.11 as he won by 0.01 over Michigan sophomore Gus Borges (19.12). All three of the defending champions have won tonight so the meet is playing out almost exactly as it did in 2018. Becker was off his meet record he set last year in his home pool at 18.69.
Penn State’s Gabriel Castano (19.20) finished in third for Penn State’s highest finish of the meet thus far.
Indiana’s Zach Apple (19.23) and Bruno Blaskovic (19.28) finished fifth and sixth as the Hoosiers are now within one point of the lead with big points in diving still coming.
Ohio State’s Ben Sugar (19.44), Ruslan Gaziev (19.60) and Penn State’s Willie Roberson (19.75) also competed in the final.
Becker is now the first Minnesota Golden Gopher to win back-to-back Big Ten titles in this event since Michael Richards won in 2010 and 2011.
