2023 NCAA Division III Championships: Day 2 Ups/Downs

2023 NCAA DIVISION III WOMEN’S AND MEN’S SWIMMING AND DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

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.

Credit to Andrew Mering for running the numbers.

Kenyon and Emory look to be in a solid battle on day two on the men’s side. Emory holds a lead after day one, but Kenyon has an additional A finalist as they have five A finalists and one B finalists, compared to Emory’s four A finalists and two B finalists.

The WashU men had a big morning as they were not in the top 10 after day 1 but have two A final swims and two B final swims tonight.

On the women’s side, Denison looks to expand their lead on the women’s side having seven final swims tonight including four A and three B. Denison will have a huge 400 IM as they have three A finalists there.

Williams will look to pass Emory and Kenyon, but it is notable that Kenyon has four B finalists.

UChicago had a great prelims and their my darkhorse to defend their title in the relay tonight. But I think it’s going to be close and I think we could see multiple teams break 3:10 tonight.

Also I think WashU is setting themselves up for a battle in the 800 free relay with Emory. WashU has the second deepest team of 200 freestylers in the country behind Emory.

Kenyon men with a big day plus 2 up in men’s diving to keep things interesting with Emory. Geneseo and Carnegie had 2 up on the boards as well, will shake up the 2nd-3rd tier a good bit.
Double relay day is the best day
