2020 Big Ten Women’s Championship: Maggie MacNeil Crushes Fastest 50 Back Split in History
The 2020 Big Ten Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships kicked off with two relays from the University of Iowa Aquatic Center on Wednesday.

Maggie MacNeil started strong with a record relay leadoff to spark the victory.
After the first night, Michigan leads with 118 points, followed by Ohio State (112), Wisconsin (108), Northwestern (102) and Minnesota (98).
