2022 Big Ten Championships

edit

In his first event of the 2022 Big Ten Conference Championships in February, the 4×50 yard medley relay, McHugh and his relay were disqualified in the final for more than one reaction time registering as negative in value, -0.01 seconds specifically.[34][35] The second day, he was declared a false start, a form of disqualification, in the prelims heats of the 50 yard freestyle and was disqualified in the 4×100 yard medley relay when a swimmer other than McHugh registered a negative reaction time, -0.10 seconds by the butterfly swimmer.[36] Pre-relay disqualification, he split a 50.51 for the breaststroke leg of the relay, which was the fastest breaststroke split out of all the finals relays.[37] On day three, he ranked third in the prelims heats of the 100 yard breaststroke with a time of 52.06 seconds and advanced to the final.[38] He won the final with a time of 50.67 seconds, breaking the pool record of 51.54 seconds set by Ian Finnerty of the Indiana Hoosiers in 2018.[39][40] He swam a 1:52.92 in the prelims heats of the 200 yard breaststroke on the fourth day, qualifying ranked first for the final with a time 0.24 seconds ahead of second-ranked swimmer Josh Matheny of the Indiana Hoosiers.[41] Finishing the Championships with the 200 yard breaststroke, he concluded his senior collegiate conference championships by defending his title in the event from the 2021 Championships, finishing first in 1:49.45 and 1.20 seconds ahead of second-place finisher and freshman Josh Matheny.[42][43] His time of 1:49.45 set a new Championships record, lowering the former record set by Ian Finnerty in 2019 with a 1:50.30 by 0.85 seconds.[44]

Following his performances, swimming news outlet SwimSwam reported McHugh planned to compete for a fifth year in the collegiate system, the 2022–2023 season, which would help make it possible for him to compete in a typical four NCAA Championships in his collegiate career as the 2020 NCAA Division I Men's Swimming and Diving Championships were canceled during his sophomore (second) year competing for the NCAA.[45]
