Three ladies from Asian countries won events in Columbus with China&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Rose Bi\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Liz Li\u00a0<\/strong>winning the 500 and 50 free, plus Hong Kong&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Siobhan Haughey\u00a0<\/strong>winning the 200 IM. Bi and Haughey gave Michigan wins to put them in the lead after two days of swimming and diving.<\/p>\n<p>The major highlight of the night though came from\u00a0<strong>Beata Nelson\u00a0<\/strong>of Wisconsin. She was out-raced by Haughey in the 200 IM but came back in the 400 medley relay to rattle the American record. Nelson swam a 49.78 for the second fastest time in history behind\u00a0<strong>Ally Howe<\/strong>&#8216;s 49.69 from last season. Nelson has quickly put herself back in the talks for national title favorites after she had a disappointing freshman season after being such a highly touted recruit.<\/p>\n<p>It looks to be a three or four team race with Michigan (430) leading Indiana (396) and Ohio State (370) after two days. Minnesota (355) is also nearby in fourth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/results\/pdf\/2018-big-ten-womens-championships-day-two-finals-day-2-ncaa-college-2018-02-15.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Results<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>500 Free<\/h3>\n<p>In the first final of the night, Michigan junior\u00a0<strong>Rose Bi\u00a0<\/strong>got the Big Ten crown with a 4:35.09 in the 500 final on Thursday night in Columbus. She took the lead early and did not relinquish as she got serious pressure from Purdue senior\u00a0<strong>Kaersten Meitz\u00a0<\/strong>who finished second at 4:37.11. Michigan defending champion\u00a0<strong>G Ryan\u00a0<\/strong>finished in third at 4:37.37.<\/p>\n<p>This is Bi&#8217;s first Big Ten title and she helps Michigan keep its streak alive in the event as Ryan won last year.

Nelson just missed the record held by Stanford&#8217;s<strong>\u00a0Ally Howe\u00a0<\/strong>(49.69) as she moves to second all-time ahead of\u00a0<strong>Kathleen Baker\u00a0<\/strong>(49.84) and\u00a0<strong>Natalie Coughlin\u00a0<\/strong>(49.97). She is the fourth swimmer to break 50 seconds in the 100 back.<\/p>\n<p>This is a huge swim for Nelson who&#8217;s best time was a 50.79 from the Texas Invite earlier this season. Nelson was one of the best recruits in the class of 2016 but had a lackluster freshman season last year, going only 52.11 at Big Ten&#8217;s last year for third and 52.55 for 27th at NCAA&#8217;s last year.<\/p>\n<p>Nelson was\u00a0not on a lot of people&#8217;s radar after not having swum well in a while, but she put her name back in swimming relativity with that 49 second swim.<\/p>\n<p>This was leading off the 400 medley relay as there was still more swimming left in the crazy race.\u00a0Nelson&#8217;s time helped Wisconsin finish fifth at 3:31.22.<\/p>\n<p>Indiana ended up winning the 400 medley relay with a 3:27.81 to smash the Big Ten record they set last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ali Rockett\u00a0<\/strong>(51.25),\u00a0<strong>Lilly King\u00a0<\/strong>(56.92),\u00a0<strong>Christie Jensen\u00a0<\/strong>(51.01) and\u00a0<strong>Grace Haskett\u00a0<\/strong>(48.63) won the relay with Minnesota coming in second at 3:28.96.<\/p>\n<p>That swim also broke the pool record that Arizona had from 2008 NCAA&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tevyn Waddell\u00a0<\/strong>(52.17),\u00a0<strong>Lindsey Kozelsky\u00a0<\/strong>(57.51),\u00a0<strong>Danielle Nack\u00a0<\/strong>(51.65) and\u00a0<strong>Zoe Avestruz\u00a0<\/strong>(47.63) put up a strong swim for the Golden Gophers as Kozelsky put up a really good breaststroke split there.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan finished third in the relay with a 3:29.90. Ohio State (3:30.36), Wisconsin (3:31.22), Purdue (3:34.72), Nebraska (3:36.03) and Iowa (3:37.71) finished in the top eight.<\/p>\n<pre><b> Event 7  Women 400 Yard Medley Relay<\/b>\r\n==================================================================================\r\n     B1G Meet: @ 3:28.89  2\/16\/2017 Indiana University, Indiana\r\n                          A Rockett, L King, G Dalesandro, H Spears\r\n         Pool: # 3:29.06  3\/16\/2008 Arizona, Arizo\r\n                          H deGolia, A Chandler, A Agy, L Nymeyer\r\n                 3:32.67  A NCAA Qualifying\r\n                 3:34.48  B NCAA Provisional\r\n    School                           Seed     Finals       Points \r\n==================================================================================\r\n  1 Indiana                       3:31.64    3:27.81@A       64  \r\n     1) Rockett, Alexandra SR         2) r:0.33 King, Lillia JR       \r\n     3) r:0.24 Jensen, Christine JR   4) r:0.18 Haskett, Grace FR     \r\n    r:+0.70  24.68        51.25 (51.25)\r\n        1:17.53 (26.28)     1:48.17 (56.92)\r\n        2:11.65 (23.48)     2:39.18 (51.01)\r\n        3:01.78 (22.60)     3:27.81 (48.63)\r\n  2 Minnesota                     3:32.70    3:28.96#A       56  \r\n     1) Waddell, Tevyn SO             2) r:0.16 Kozelsky, Lindsey SO  \r\n     3) r:0.44 Nack, Danielle SR      4) r:0.27 Avestruz, Zoe JR      \r\n    r:+0.61  25.20        52.17 (52.17)\r\n        1:18.76 (26.59)     1:49.68 (57.51)\r\n        2:13.21 (23.53)     2:41.33 (51.65)\r\n        3:03.81 (22.48)     3:28.96 (47.63)\r\n  3 Michigan                      3:31.88    3:29.90 A       54  \r\n     1) Smiddy, Clara SR              2) r:0.27 Tucker, Miranda SO    \r\n     3) r:0.25 Krause, Vanessa SO     4) r:0.22 Deloof, Gabrielle SR  \r\n    r:+0.63  25.34        51.98 (51.98)\r\n        1:18.83 (26.85)     1:50.23 (58.25)\r\n        2:14.53 (24.30)     2:42.61 (52.38)\r\n        3:04.85 (22.24)     3:29.90 (47.29)\r\n  4 Ohio St                       3:35.74    3:30.36 A       52  \r\n     1) Bradley, Rebekah SO           2) r:0.17 Gresser, Hanna FR     \r\n     3) r:0.10 Li, Zhesi SR           4) r:0.03 Rayner, Freya FR      \r\n    r:+0.69  25.76        52.96 (52.96)\r\n        1:20.29 (27.33)     1:52.21 (59.25)\r\n        2:15.60 (23.39)     2:42.39 (50.18)\r\n        3:04.72 (22.33)     3:30.36 (47.97)\r\n  5 Wisconsin                     3:34.21    3:31.22 A       50  \r\n     1) Nelson, Elizabeth SO          2) r:0.16 Berg, Marissa SR      \r\n     3) r:0.27 Saghafi, Ariana JR     4) r:0.05 Sehmann, Emmy JR      \r\n    r:+0.69  24.07        49.78 (49.78)\r\n        1:17.20 (27.42)   1:50.41 (1:00.63)\r\n        2:14.61 (24.20)     2:42.51 (52.10)\r\n        3:04.96 (22.45)     3:31.22 (48.71)\r\n  6 Purdue                        3:37.73    3:34.72         48  \r\n     1) Smailis, Jacklyn JR           2) r:0.02 Phee, Jinq En SO      \r\n     3) r:0.22 Kitchel, Taite JR      4) r:0.09 Meitz, Kaersten SR    \r\n    r:+0.60  25.83        53.89 (53.89)\r\n        1:21.16 (27.27)     1:52.80 (58.91)\r\n        2:17.04 (24.24)     2:45.95 (53.15)\r\n        3:09.36 (23.41)     3:34.72 (48.77)\r\n  7 Nebraska                      3:39.20    3:36.03         46  \r\n     1) Haebig, Autumn FR             2) r:0.17 Worlton, Gwendolyn SO \r\n     3) r:0.11 Murray, Isabelle FR    4) r:0.20 Helferich, Lindsay JR \r\n    r:+0.66  25.76        53.36 (53.36)\r\n        1:21.29 (27.93)   1:54.19 (1:00.83)\r\n        2:18.54 (24.35)     2:47.11 (52.92)\r\n        3:10.23 (23.12)     3:36.03 (48.92)\r\n  8 Iowa                          3:41.27    3:37.71         44  \r\n     1) Lavelle, Meghan SR            2) r:+0.40 Hoyt, Shea SR        \r\n     3) r:+0.62 McNamara, Kelly JR    4) r:+0.15 Burvill, Hannah SO   \r\n    r:+0.61  26.07        53.89 (53.89)\r\n        1:22.04 (28.15)   1:55.27 (1:01.38)\r\n        2:20.23 (24.96)     2:49.56 (54.29)\r\n        3:12.39 (22.83)     3:37.71 (48.15)<\/pre>\n<pre> Women - Team Rankings - Through Event 7                      \r\n \r\n  1.
