For those unfamiliar with swimming terminology, the concept of “Ups” and “Downs” is a good way to track which teams performed best at prelims. In prelims at the NCAA National Championships, swimmers and divers qualify for one of two finals heats: the top 8 finishers make the A final, and places 9 through 16, the B final. In finals, swimmers are locked into their respective final, meaning a swimmer in the B heat (spots 9-16) can only place as high as 9th or as low as 16th, even if they put up the fastest or slowest time, or score the most diving points, of any heat in the final.
With that in mind, we’ll be tracking “Ups,” and “Downs” after each prelims session. “Up” refers to swimmers in the A final, “Down” to swimmers in the B final.
The biggest Day 1 gains relative to the psych sheet came from Fresno Pacific (+35), Cal Baptist (+26), Indy (+21), Lindenwood (+15), Saint Leo (+15), and UC San Diego (+10). At the opposite end of the scale, Nova S’eastern, Florida Southern, Delta State, Florida Tech, Oklahoma Baptist, and Wayne State will fewer point-scoring opportunities in tonight’s finals session than predicted.
