The 2020 Big Ten Women’s Championships kick off this week at Iowa with a heavyweight battle expected between Michigan and Indiana, though Ohio State, Wisconsin, Northwestern and the rest of the field will have something to say about it.<\/p>\n

The psych sheet has not officially been released, but there are plenty of anticipated races that will be exciting to watch at the Big Ten Women’s Championships this week.<\/p>\n

Here is a look at five of them:<\/p>\n

\u2022 2019 Results<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 More Big Ten coverage<\/a><\/p>\n

200 individual medley<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another race that could feature Wisconsin’s Beata Nelson<\/strong>, and another race that could be highly contested.<\/p>\n

Nelson’s 200 IM is perhaps her third best event as a backstroke specialist. She stunned the field by winning the 200 IM at the NCAA Championships last year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Northwestern’s Calypso Sheridan<\/strong> is an IM specialist. While she is better in the 400 IM, the 200 IM is something she has improved upon greatly. She was an All-American in the 400 IM last year and has a shot at making the Australian Olympic team in the event.<\/p>\n

Ohio State’s Kathrin Demler<\/strong> is a butterfly specialist who also can put together an elite IM.<\/p>\n

Heading into the meet, Nelson is the top time in 1:52.77, while Demler (1:56.45), Sheridan (1:56.57), Indiana’s Cora Dupre<\/strong> (1:57.33), Mackenzie Looze<\/strong> (1:57.50) and Michigan’s Miranda Tucker<\/strong> (1:57.66) are all in a pack waiting to strike.<\/p>\n

This could be an underrated race at the Big Ten Women’s Championships with so many swimmers who have a chance to score at NCAAs.<\/p>\n

100 backstroke<\/strong><\/p>\n

Assuming they are both swimming the event, this could be a battle of the top two 100 backstroke swimmers in the NCAA \u2014 a prequel to the championships.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin’s Beata Nelson<\/strong> is the defending NCAA champion in the event and could go head-to-head with Michigan’s Maggie MacNeil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nelson is the favorite, but you never know what could happen pre-taper. She won three events at last year’s NCAA Championships, but MacNeil had a breakout summer, winning the 100 fly world championship and tying the NCAA record in the event this season as well.<\/p>\n

This will be the first big test to see where her backstroke is \u2014 assuming she swims the event.<\/p>\n

Nelson has the top time in the Big Ten in 50.05, while MacNeil is at 50.81.<\/p>\n

100 breaststroke<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michigan’s Miranda Tucker<\/strong> has been on the prowl this season, putting together some of the top breaststroke times in the country.<\/p>\n

This will be her first head-to-head challenge since the midseason invitationals, and it will be perhaps the most anticipated individual showdown of the Big Ten Women’s Championships.<\/p>\n

Along side her will be Minnesota’s Lindsey Kozeksly<\/strong>, who finished fourth at last year’s NCAA championships, three spots ahead of Tucker.<\/p>\n

Tucker has the top spot so far this season at 58.41, an NCAA \u201cA\u201d cut. Kozelsky is second at 58.66, while Indiana’s Emily Weiss is not far behind at 59.00.<\/p>\n

This could be another preview of the NCAA Championships and what is to come on the biggest stage.<\/p>\n

1,650 freestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ohio State’s Molly Kowal<\/strong> had a breakout swim in the mile last year, finishing second in the NCAA in the event. She is looking to keep that momentum going this year.<\/p>\n

Her first big test will be at the Big Ten Women’s Championships, facing Michigan’s Sierra Schmidt<\/strong>. Schmidt finished sixth at last year’s NCAA Championships, but has been swimming at a faster pace this year.<\/p>\n

And Michigan’s Kaitlynn Sims<\/strong> has put together some strong distance events as well, so she can’t be counted out.<\/p>\n

Schmidt has the best time heading into the meet at 15:49.90, while Sims is second at 15:51.06, both NCAA automatic qualifying times. Kowal is third at 16:03.23.<\/p>\n

The mile is not usually a must-see event at a conference meet, but this one could be.<\/p>\n

200 butterfly<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one is definitely more under-the-radar in regard to the big names, but it could end up being the closest race and have a big impact in the team scoring at the Big Ten Women’s Championships.<\/p>\n

Ohio State’s Kathrin Demler<\/strong> is the defending Big Ten champion in the event and the favorite going in.<\/p>\n

But Michigan’s Vanessa Krause<\/strong> could play spoiler and score some huge points for the Wolverines.<\/p>\n

Demler has the top time at 1:55.01, while Krause is just behind at 1:55.99.<\/p>\n

Northwestern’s Ally Larson<\/strong> (1:56.32), Michigan’s Olivia Carter<\/strong> (1:56.36) and Nebraska’s Madison Coughlen<\/strong> (1:56.39) are all in the mix.<\/p>\n

Another event that could have an under-the-radar affect on the outcome.<\/p>\n
