The penultimate night of the 2019 Big Ten Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships was a huge one for the team standings as Indiana is ahead by over 100 points over second place Michigan.
Indiana won five of the seven events on Friday night at the University of Iowa as Zach Apple, Ian Finnerty and Gabriel Fantoni won titles in the pool and James Connor won in diving.
Finnerty also made history as he became the first man to win the 100 breast four times at the Big Ten Championships. Three men had won it three times but Finnerty became the first to win four.
Michigan did have something to cheer about as Miles Smachlo and Charlie Swanson started the night with wins in the 100 fly and 400 IM.

100 Fly
Michigan’s Miles Smachlo upset Indiana senior Vini Lanza in the 100 fly on Friday night at the 2019 Big Ten Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships. Lanza was the defending champion but Smachlo became the first swimmer of the meet to take down a defending champ. Every single 2018 champ had successfully defended their title from last year.
Smachlo swam a 44.82 to just get by Lanza who was a 44.90 from lane seven. Smachlo became the first Michigan Big Ten Champ in this event since Sean Fletcher won in 2013. Smachlo helped Michigan stop the bleeding after Indiana put four guys in the A-Final.
Ohio State’s Noah Lense (45.45) finished just ahead of Indiana’s Bruno Blaskovic (45.46) for the bronze medal. Blaskovic came in to the night as the top seed after prelims but faded to fourth.
Indiana picked up major points with Lanza, Blaskovic, Van Mathias (45.90) and Gabriel Fantoni (46.12) swimming in the final.
Ohio State also picked up points with Michael Salazar (45.63) and Henrique Painhas (45.77) placing fifth and sixth.

100 Breast
Indiana senior Ian Finnerty successfully won his fourth straight Big Ten title in the 100 breast on Friday night at the University of Iowa. Finnerty swam a 50.77 as he was slightly faster this morning in the heats, going a 50.60. Finnerty had a hard time shaking off Minnesota freshman Max McHugh (51.08) finished in the runner-up position.
Finnerty is the fastest man in Division I currently as he is looking to defend his NCAA title from a year ago in four weeks. Finnerty is also the first man to ever win the 100 breast at Big Tens all four years. Indiana’s Cody Miller (2011-13), Michigan’s Stu Isaac (1972-74) and Michigan’s Paul Scheerer (1965-67) each won three titles but Finnerty is now the first to win four.
Indiana had two others in the A-Final as Zane Backes (51.73) finished in third as the freshman out-touched in-state rival Trent Pellini of Purdue (51.76). Pellini lowered his best time and Purdue’s school record in the process. IU sophomore Gary Kostbade (52.83) placed eighth for the Hoosiers.
Michigan’s Jeremy Babinet (52.18), William Chan (52.36) and Jacob Montague (52.61) also placed in the top eight.
