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, swimmers qualify for one of three finals heats: the top 8 finishers make the A final, places 9 through 16 the B final and places 17 through 24 the C 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 of any heat in the final.
With that in mind, we’ll be tracking “Ups,” “Mids” and “Downs” after each prelims session. “Up” refers to swimmers in the A final, “Mid” to swimmers in the B final and “Down” to swimmers in the C final.
Harvard’s depth was on display on the final morning of prelims. The Crimson distanced themselves from rival Princeton and set up the conditions for winning their fourth consecutive team title later tonight. Harvard’s Gunnar Grant and Michael Zarian qualified 1-2 in the 200 back. Princeton had a pair of top qualifiers in Derek Cox (200 breast) and Raunak Khosla (200 fly). Yale’s Henry Gaissart was the fastest 100 freestyler of the morning.
With 5 divers and a strong showing in the 100 free, Yale should jump past Brown and Columbia on Day 4 to land in 3rd place overall.
