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 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 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, and “Down” to swimmers in the B final.

Virginia entered today’s prelims session with an 82 point lead over Texas. Stanford only sits at five points behind Texas, and Alabama is eight points behind the Longhorns. This morning, Virginia and Stanford claimed two of the top seeds and Texas claimed the top seed in one event.
Based on this morning’s swims, it looks as if Virginia will be able to expand upon their lead as the Hoos placed the most swimmers into A finals. It also looks like Stanford has the potential to overtake Texas for second place as Stanford will have one additional A finalist and two more B finalists than Texas. NC State and Alabama are projected to still be in a tight battle after tonight.
Virginia and Stanford placed the most swimmers into a single A final. Virginia placed three into the 400 IM, and Stanford placed three into the 200 freestyle.

Has the scoring for this meet changed in the last 30+ years? If not…:
Can UVA really get 746.5 points? The record (746) is by Texas, from 1991. Looking at the past 30 years, nobody has come close.
Who was on those UT teams, holy crap!?!?!
Stanford had 2 high scoring years @ 730 and 649, but teams rarely break 600
SMU a surprise 2nd in 1996
Women’s swimming, like most women’s collegiate athletics, continue to get deeper and deeper over time. So, we’ll probably never see 746.5 points again.
Very good point, so what’s a number people would look for? Stanford from 2018, Auburn 2007, Georgia 2014?
Places matter tonight for Texas and Stanford. 40 points for Texas Divers based on prelims.
Cal’s slogan used to be top 3 for (x) years in a row. Then last year when they couldn’t hold that it became top 5 for ( x ) years. After this meet are they going to boast about (x) years in the the top 10. Seems to be a program in decline!
Texas 2 up 1 down, Stanford 1 up in diving.
Was about to ask if we knew this yet…
For 3m Diving
2up 1 down for Texas
1up for Stanford
That’s it for the current top 10
2 up for Indiana is notable though.
Texas got 2 up, 1 down in 3 meter. Stanford got 1 up.
Stan 1/0, TX 2/1 in diving
More than one of us was watching. Good
lol broken record in here?
Texas also with 2A/1B in diving today! Should be interesting
