2015 NCAA Women’s D1 Champs: Heat Sheets/Scratches

Day 2 of the 2015 NCAA Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships is expected to be a Golden Bear day, with the Cal women holding top seeds in both the 200 medley relay and 800 free relay.

The Georgia women have a 10 point lead entering the day, where they are seeded to score 142 points and Cal is seeded to score 206 points. The Georgia women were on-fire on Thursday, especially in prelims, but even another day like they had on day 1 probably would leave no better than a dead-heat going into the final two sessions on Saturday.

Top 10 team scores:

1. Georgia – 172
2. Cal – 162
3. Stanford – 111
4. Texas A&M – 82.5
T-5. Louisville – 76
T-5. Virginia – 76
7. Wisconsin – 54
8. Tennessee – 52
9. USC – 46
10. Arizona – 44
