The Big Ten will have a relatively light week after having some powerhouse conference meets the past couple of weeks.

On Thursday, Indiana will host Notre Dame and Cincinnati in a marquee tri meet.

The Hoosiers are ranked No. 1 in the men’s poll, while Notre Dame is No. 17.

In the women’s poll, the Hoosiers, led by Lilly King, are No. 8 and the Fighting Irish are No. 10 after a strong start to the season.

This will be a meet of pride in the state of Indiana and should be exciting for both the men and women.

On Saturday, Northwestern will host Wisconsin in the only all-Big Ten dual of the week.

On Friday, Michigan State will host Bowling Green in a non-conference meet. The Spartans have been swimming and diving well so far this season and could use this as another building block.

Michigan State will then host another Mid-American Conference opponent on Saturday, facing Miami (Ohio).

Also on Friday, Wisconsin will compete at Green Bay in an intrastate battle.

Meanwhile, Minnesota will host a diving invite this weekend with Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State and Nebraska competing.

So while it is a mostly light and low-key week for the Big Ten, it just means we are gearing up for some great racing soon.
