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.

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.

[57] [58] The final day, he won his third-consecutive title in the 200 yard breaststroke with a time of 1:50.20, marking the third-consecutive year he won all the individual breaststroke events at the Men's Big Ten Conference Championships and setting a new school program record for the total number of individual conference titles won by any one male Golden Gophers swimmer over the course of their collegiate career at seven titles, which increased the record count by one from the previous record of six titles set in the 1960's by Steve Jackman.
