Headed into the final day of this meet, Cal has opened up a 50 point lead (including all diving), and will have four extra A-finalists tonight to boot. Though there’s still the matter of the 1650 free in the evening which won’t be accounted for in these up/downs, Cal’s Jeremy Bagshaw is the top seed in that race and swimming well, so that won’t help Stanford much (though they should outscore Cal in that event alone, with the 2, 7, 8, and 10 seeds, to Cal’s 1, 14, 17, and 28 seeds. Cal will get more points than seed shows, though, as Adam Hinshaw is seeded in a no time, but will definitely score.
This is Cal’s meet to lose. It’s still close enough where a DQ could cause a big swing,

Doesn’t quite fit here, but I was just watching the video from the 200 medley relay, and I was wondering if anyone knows what the fastest fly split for a 200 medley relay ever is? Tried googling, and couldn’t find anything definite, but I did see Matt Targett go 19.66 in 2009. Anyone know of anyone faster than that?
Ask and you shall receive.
Here is Cal…

Please swimswam or bono post race videos of Saturday finals swims.

Didn’t know U2’s frontman was a swim fan… 😀
Looks like Swimswam listened as usual and have posted videos for the 200y back & fly already 🙂

Caught a function error after posting…. Looks like Bloch from USC won’t make it.
Thanks for the data. Cal’s Will Hamilton qualified 17th in the 200 fly.
Does Fleming make it with his 50 split from lead off of 4×100 F.R. with that 19.40?
By the way, excellent swim by Cobleigh in that 200 time trial – I couldn’t find those last day time trial result (thanks for the info OLE 99)…fantastic improvement in one year, coming to Cal with a 1:59.57 and walking/swimming away with a 1:54.97 after his first conference meet…not too shabby!
Yes Fleming’s time counts. He is in the database at 19.40.
Ran some statistics on the meet to help put things in perspective for the Stanford team.
Scores without diving:
Cal-765
USC-519
Stanford-515
UofA-483.5

Would be interesting to compare statistics for all swimmers by class between Stanford, Cal, and USC, although this is probably best done after NCAA.
TL;DR warning: please, if you don’t like long posts, skip to cliffs at the end, or past the end. I could care less.
‘A’ for effort, but it isn’t easy, or quite constructive, to go bottom up in your detailed analysis, in swimming at least. Trust me, I went down that road for a few years, and the variables are immense, the conclusions non-sequitur – I ended up circling the world of swimming statistics until I had ended up in the same spot I started, with some jewels in my hand, just not the kind I had expected. If you follow?
I had this talk a while ago, with the top statistician(slash epidemiologist) on campus, perhaps the US, and beyond,… Read more »
Easy win for Ryan Murphy in the 200 back.
I thought that Pebley and Nolan would have finished a little closer.
1.36 for him at NCAA’s?
Mr Cordes is again faster than last year at the same meet.
1.52.96 last year. 1.51.80 this year.
At the end and despite the relay disqualification, easy win for Cal.
Murphy is definitely not breaking 1:37 this year. I’d say the 200 back winner (Nolan, Murphy, Conger, Pebley, or Teduits(?)) will be sub 1:38, at maybe 1:37.7 at fastest is more realistic.
I was about to go Inigo Montoya on the word ‘fastest,’ but I’ll just leave you with this: that event is unreal this year. Those guys are ALL stars, and I wouldn’t put it past them, especially Murphs, to be 1:36. I’d set the line at 1:37.7 for the win. That’s even odds, IMO. He was just 1:39 swimming flat as can be. He will be a medal hopeful one day. Book it. Done.
