50 Free
In a big upset, Minnesota’s Bowen Becker won the 50 final with an 18.93 to dethrone Michigan’s Paul Powers, who was the three-time defending champion in the event. Powers had the potential to be the second man ever to win four Big Ten titles in the 50 after Northwestern’s Matt Grevers won from 2004-2007. But Powers was beat to the wall by Becker, who was swimming in his home pool.
Becker is continuing the Minnesota tradition of great sprinters as he is the first to win the 50 Big Ten title for the Golden Gophers since Derek Toomey in 2014.
Indiana’s Ali Khalafalla (19.23), Michigan’s Gustavo Luiz Borges (19.28), Indiana’s Bruno Blaskovic (19.46), Michigan’s James Peek (19.59), Ohio State’s Kalvin Koethke (19.69) and Wisconsin’s Tyler Zelen (19.99) also swam in the championship final.

400 medley relay
Indiana finished a successful night of swimming with a massive 400 medley relay of 3:01.30.

It was a battle for second as Minnesota finished in second at 3:06.90 thanks to a great anchor from Bowen Becker (41.33). Michigan was in third at 3:06.95.
Outside of the IU swimmers the fastest splits came from Iowa’s Kenneth Mende (46.79), Minnesota’s Conner McHugh (51.23), Ohio State’s Noah Lense (44.95) and Becker (41.33).
