The Pac 12 Women’s Championship was this weekend. With big conference meets of this type it’s difficult to get a big picture view of how the team competition progressed just by scrolling through the results. I compiled a variety of summary stats on team scoring. In a separate post, I’ll do a breakdown of individual scoring.

Notes

-Stanford was never really challenged in this meet. After the first day, Cal was only within 50 points after the 50 free on day 2.

-Stanford dominated the top of the podium with 10 individual event wins. USC and Arizona St each won 2. Cal and UCLA won 1. Stanford led the way with 39 individual finishes in the top 8 follwed by Cal with 28 and USC with 27

-The highest single event score was Stanford with 154 points in the 200 free. Next was Cal in the 50 free with 142, Stanford in the 500 free with 135, and again Stanford in the 400 IM with 112.

-The highest scoring class was the USC freshmen with 426 individual points. They were followed by the Stanford juniors with 397 and the Stanford freshmen with 396.5. By far Stanford’s lowest scoring class was their seniors with 137 individual points. USC was also extremely underclassmen heavy with with 814 of their 988 individual points coming from their freshmen and sophomores.

Final Scores

1. Stanford: 1587.5
2. California: 1392
3. USC: 1250.5
4. Arizona: 1075.5
5. UCLA: 1002
6. Arizona State: 709.5
7. Utah: 484
8. Washington St: 334
9. Oregon St: 237*

*The results the Pac 12 released say 237 points for Oregon St. Oregon St. was awarded 42 points for each of their 5 9th place relay finishes. However, the Pac 12 rules state that a 9th place relay finish is worth 40 points. Awarding them 40 points for those relays instead of the incorrect 42 gives them a total of 227. We’ve asked the Pac 12 for clarification on this.

[Update] The Pac 12 handbook and the Participant Manual disagree on this. The participant manual says 9th place is 42 points. The Pac 12 has informed us the participant manual is the correct document and that the Pac 12 handbook is out of date. They will update the Pac 12 handbook with the correct scoring system. The official score of 237 is correct.
