COLUMBUS, Ohio -- -- After the first session of No. 6 Northwestern's double-dual meet against No. 12 Michigan and No. 14 Ohio State, the Wildcats lead the Wolverines, 100-86, and are on top of the Buckeyes, 98-88.

Northwestern opened the dual with a pool record and NCAA 'B' standard 3:12.03 to win the 400 medley relay. Matt Grevers (Lake Forest, Ill./Lake Forest), Mike Alexandrov (Champaign, Ill./Centennial), Kyle Bubolz (Waukesha, Wis./Waukesha North) and Bruno Barbic (Zagreb, Croatia/V. Gymanzija) comprised the relay.

Junior Daniel Walls (Tucson, Ariz./Sabino) was NU's top finisher in the 1,000 free with a time of 9:27.22 to finish seventh before Eric Nilsson (Weston, Mass./Weston) won the 200 free with an NCAA 'B' time of 1:37.00.

In the 50 free, Barbic and Bubolz swept the top two spots with a 20.39 and 20.46, respectively. After the Buckeyes took the top four positions in diving, Nilsson barely was outtouched by Michigan's Alex Vanderkaay in the 200 fly, finishing just .22 seconds behind with a 1:47.85.

Grevers captured the 200 back with a pool-record and NCAA 'A' cut time of 1:43.07 before Alexandrov rocked the house with a pool record and NCAA 'B' time of 1:57.45 to win the 200 breast. John Franklin (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./North Broward Prep) and Alex Hostoffer (Cleveland, Ohio/Gilmour Academy) finished fourth and fifth, respectively, for the 'Cats.

Barbic, Nilsson, Bubolz and Grevers closed day one with a win in the 400 free relay, swimming a pool record and NCAA 'B' time of 1:19.71.
