Indiana freshman Mariah Denigan got the meet started with the top qualifying time in the women’s 500 free, going 4:42.76. She split 54.07/56.91/56.95/57.37/57.46 and was just off her lifetime best time of 4:42.65. Hoosier sophomore Ella Ristic was the No. 2 qualifier in 4:43.15 and Ohio State senior Sally Tafuto followed in 4:43.89.
On the men’s side, Virginia Tech senior Antani Ivanov led the way with a 4:19.20 (48.24/52.33/52.79/52.95/52.89). Indiana sophomore Warren Briggs was second in 4:20.80 and Ohio State sophomore Charlie Clark was third in 4:21.28. IU had three additional swimmers in the top 10: Mikey Calvillo went 4:21.33, Michael Brinegar went 4:21.41 and Tomer Frankel was 4:22.35.

Ohio State sophomore Katherine Zenick hit a best time in the 50 free to lead the way on the women’s side, going 20.20 — her previous best was 20.24. Indiana junior Ashley Turak, who’s gone sub-22, was second in 22.43 and OSU junoir Amy Fulmer was third in 22.44.
