2017 NCAA Division II Women: Day 2 Up/Down Report: Drury vs Queens Race Tightens

Division II Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships

Women’s Ups/Downs*

Wingate, West Chester, Wayne State, and William Jewell scored big on Thursday (although my alliterative brain almost wrote Wednesday), but the most significant gains from a team-race perspective came from Queens University of Charlotte, who steadily improved their seedings event by event, only losing 1 point in the 100 fly. The Royals have now edged in front of Drury in our final predictions, but by less than 10 points so the title is still by all means in play.

MSU Mankato and Bridgeport had impressive 200 free relays that added to their standings, while Grand Valley, Saint Leo, and West Chester did better than expected in the 400 medley relay. Wayne State picked up 17 points in diving alone, and is trying to challenge West Chester, Fresno Pacific, and Grand Valley for a place in the top ten.

Below are the Ups (“A” finalists) / Downs (“B” finalists) for the teams who will be on the scoreboard at the conclusion of Day 1 finals. The 1000 free is not included:
