I’m 15 and I already plan to swim for the Wolfpack one day. Best team and coolest mascot and fans in the NCAA!
How did the Texas women lose to Stanford and then overtake an undefeated Stanford team in the previous poll?
Fantastic rise by the Wolfpack! Particularly their coaches ability to improve their swimmers. Not long ago they hardly had any NCAA qualifiers. I hope they can win ACCs without resting everybody so they can focus more on nationals.
Indiana should be #3 they destroyed the longhorns earlier this year without Mohammed Samy and a healthy Ian Finnerty. Plus Oliver Patrouch and Sam Lorentz reportedly have a lot more to show for NCAAs
Texas didn’t swim Licon or Schooling.
What is this world coming to when people feel the need to troll a swimming news page?
NC State fans are actually the worst. All they do is lurk on this website and troll other programs.
I don’t know what their problem is, they trash talk literally every other team. They just have some fixation on being the loudest and most obnoxious team wherever they go.
You are assuming that they are fans and not the many many trolls there are on the site now.
The fallen must rise. MIZ.
Really confused that UNC isn’t on this list. Of my sixty plus years of analyzing college swimming, even when Mike Peppe used to run the tables at the Ohio State University (cringe), I have never seen a team swim with so much heart as this Tarheel team has. Nor have I seen a coach motivate his kids as much as DeSelm does. “It’s never fun to lose”- what an inspiring way to put it. The swimmers clearly feed off this energy so much that they try so hard in their events that they can barely break 47 in the 4 free relay. Thats one of the gutsiest performances I’ve ever seen in my long, storied swim career.
Do you understand how immature you sound? Maybe you are a 15 year old kid, and it would make sense. But otherwise, you just sound like a jerk. Do you feel better about yourself by talking trash about college swimmers on a swimming message board? If so, your life is going to be miserable.
Cry then
UNC are you good?? Hey Campbell, chin beard up it’ll be ok. Well… it won’t, but gotta stay positive ya know. Maybe see if some of the girl’s team can swim at conference for the men?
