Craig swam a 48.68 in his first 100 back of the season, touching as the only swimmer in the field under 49 seconds. He then swam his first 100 fly of the season as well, posting a 48.16 to be the only swimmer in the field uner 50 seconds. Craig now sits at 4th in the 100 back and 6th in the 100 fly in the Big Ten this year. Craig also anchored the Ohio State 400 medley relay to victory in a field-leading 44.08. He also anchored the 200 free relay to victory with a 20.13, which also topped the field.

Kathrin Demler of Ohio State pulled off the difficult 1000 free/200 free, swimming both events for the first time this season. In the 1000 free, Demler swam a 9:53.07, cruisning to victory by 14 seconds. She then turned around with only the men’s 1000 free as a break, clocking a 1:48.73 to win the 200 free. She was the only swimmer in the field to break 1:50. Demler’s first attempts at the 1000 free and 200 free came this season in at 3rd and 6th respectively in the Big Ten this year.

Freya Rayner swept the women’s sprint freestyles for the Buckeyes. Rayner kicked off her day with a 50.01 to anchor the OSU 400 medley relay to victory, which was the fastest split in the field.
