Big Ten Women 100 Butterfly

Michigan’s butterfly specialists got the job done in the morning session in the 100 butterfly.

Maggie Mac Neil, the reigning NCAA and Olympic champion in the event, predictably took the top seed in 51.31. It is two seconds off of her Big Ten record in the event, and nearly a second and a half off her incoming seed time. That means she could be poised for a huge performance in finals.

Meanwhile, senior teammate Olivia Carter, who is the defending NCAA champion in the 200 butterfly, took the second seed in 51.70 as the duo aims to finish 1-2 in finals, which would be a huge point boost for the Wolverines, who are trying to catch Ohio State.

Ohio State sophomore Katherine Zenick took the third seed in 52.01, followed by Northwestern senior Miriam Guevara (52.09), Wisconsin junior Mallory Jump (52.12), Wisconsin freshman Mackenzie McConagha (53.20), Ohio State sophomore Tristan Harrison (52.58) and Ohio State junior Morgan Kraus (52.67).
