Ohio State rounded off an impressive weekend with a brilliant new Big Ten title, their second in a row after a drought that had lasted more than three decades.

On the final night of competition, all eyes were on the Indiana v. Northwestern for third place. The Hoosiers had a strong performance in the mile, then tied the Wildcats in the pool events before IU’s dynamite group pushed them further out of reach.

Even two years since graduating from Indiana breaststroke, world record holder and marquee Lilly king, tonight’s 200 breaststroke final showed the Hoosiers still carry on a breaststroke tradition.

Sophomore Emily weiss set off for the 200 breaststroke title tonight, clocking 2: 07.20 to cut half a second off her old record. She was joined on the podium by the finalist and her teammate Noelle Peplowski at 2: 07.61, during Mac Looze, daughter of head coach Ray Looze, was fourth in 2: 08.62 to help stamp out any Wildcat rebellion there.

Looze, who swam the 200 fly at this meet last year, entered the competition with a life record of 2: 11.07.
