2018 Men’s B1G Ten Championships: Day 4 Ups/Mids/Downs

2018 MEN’S B1G CHAMPIONSHIPS

Michigan and Indiana are set for a showdown on the final night of the Big Ten Championships, with the teams separated by just 10.5 points. Indiana put ten swimmers into A-finals tonight, with Michigan getting nine. With Indiana holding the slight lead, that would appear to give them the slight advantage. This of course doesn’t include either the 1650, a strength for Michigan, or the platform diving, which is a strength for Indiana.

In the battle for 5th, Minnesota holds just a half point lead over Wisconsin. The Gophers advanced three men into A-finals over the Badgers two, but Wisconsin has two more total finals swims (10).

Note: Ups refer to swimmers in the A final, who can finish no lower than 8th barring a DQ; Mids refer to swimmers in the B final, who can finish no higher than 9th and no lower than 16th (again, barring a DQ on the low end); and Downs refer to swimmers in the C final, who can finish no higher than 17th and no lower than 24th (again, barring a DQ on the low end).

Platform diving and the 1650 free are not included in the ups/mids/downs below.

Andrew Capobianco is 5th for IU, Toss Ross is 8th for MICH. IU adds 13/14/20/23. MICH also with 17 & 19. Advantage IU, but a smaller one than on the other boards.

Mi has big advantage in mile thou. With IN divers not getting the top diving pts we thought they would, I say MI wins!!

Both IU and Michigan got one in the A final. IU has 2 diving in the B right now, and both IU and Michigan had 2 score in the C.

You’re right, I missed Capabianco. I think Indiana has the advantage but I still think it’ll come down to the last relay. You don’t see big meets like this that are close very often.
