Jack walker only scored 15 points? He won 2 events individually. Not sure how scoring is done but I feel that he must have scored more than 15
My thoughts exactly. In addition to winning two events, he was also an A finalist in the 100 free and B Finalist in the 50.
I think that maybe it was a MM ‘lag’ issue – when you go to athletes on the meet results, it can take a minute for their points to update. Jack scored 57 points – I’ve updated above.
So NCAP didnt show up?
NCAP sent the bulk of their group to Indy for NCSAs. Probably saved 50% on costs.

Sophia Karras scores 40 points to lead LIAC.
Don’t forget about LIAC’s Sophia Karras who was the champion in the 1500 and also scored points in the 800 and Cavan Gormsen who placed in the 800 and 1500. LIAC’s D-Lane is a powerhouse, gotta point out my teammates who also helped us score points.
LIAC girls would of got third overall….8 girls won a natty…how incredible!!!! Congrats to Dave and the LIAC
Shouldn’t they be third, add up the boys and girls points? Odd.
I was told there would be no math….
In order to score for combined points, a team must score at least 1 point for both boys and girls.
Their boys team scored no points, so they can’t be counted in the combined ranks. Weird rule but it’s like that at most meets.
Almost a 3 way tie for the women wow
