Day 3 final heat blades

Pig tooth -Filet -Sandwiches and breastnot: It is what Indiana does.

The Hosier men enter the third day of the 2025 Big Ten championships with an over-100 point lead before the 2nd place Michigan and the five best qualification players in the 100-breast final of the men, who should make the lead at night even bigger.

The Hoosiers have 13 A finalists on Friday, only in swimming events, seven more than any other and their mighty diving core if they look for a big ten four-peat.

Behind them is a great struggle for the 2nd place between arch -rival Michigan and Ohio State. Both teams have top seeds in various events, but especially for Michigan Junior Tyler Raywho quickly becomes a breakout star of these championships after setting up a new Meet record in the Prelims of the 100 Fly.

The USC had a better morning on Friday than on Thursday, and although the gap is probably great to close a third place in its big ten, they build with Wisconsin, Northwestern and Minnesota in a close fight for fourth place. On paper, the Trojans have a strong last day for the Big Time Plan, so that the promotion to Saturday will be good for them with all kinds of advantage over these other teams.
