He also gave a pep talk to the team and BTN showed it. I'm sure video will become available. He was doing the team chant and everything. It was awesome.

Siobahn Haughey won another title. This time in the 100yd Freestyle. Michigan took 1-2 in that event, which is big points.

Clara Smiddy also won the 200yd Backstroke.

Need to keep it up. The next closest team just took 1-2 in the 100 BR.

Neither Michigan nor Indiana have anyone in the platform diving event meaning there's one event left: the 400 Freestyle Relay.

I don't know if either team has anyone in that event either. MGoBlue isn't telling me, @umichswimdive has gone silent on twitter.

Oh God someone please hold me. We have to win this championship.

Both teams have entries in the relay; Indiana is seeded first and M is seeded fourth*. I believe we'll also score some points from the consolation final of the platform diving.

*Seed times generally are a bit less accurate/matter less in relays than in individual events. Coaches play around with relay lineups a lot, and the best possible relay combination might not have swum together all that many times during the season.

Because someone forgot to update MGoBlue, I did not know this.

Michigan had FOUR divers in the B final of the platform. Michigan racked up 59 points to Indiana's 27.

Michigan leads 1297-1159.5 with one event left. Again, no idea if we have anyone in it since the MGoBlue primer on tonight didn't mention it.
