Texas Men Take the Lead Through Day 2 of Men’s 2014 NCAA Championships

Texas maintains their narrow lead over Cal after two days at the NCAA Championships, with both them and Cal continuing to blow away their seeds.

Full day 2 finals recap available here.

With the Longhorns not scoring as many points in diving as they did on Thursday, though, this will be a barn-burner on Saturday. Texas could go huge on platform diving, so as of now, they’re probably in the driver’s seat, but Cal continues to move way up in the relays. Florida and Michigan, though, both have big day 3’s scheduled as well too, and aren’t counting on as much moving up.

Michigan is probably out of the title hunt. Florida is looking that way too, though they’d need less help from Cal and Texas to get back in.

Moral of the story: the last day looks like it’s headed toward Cal vs. Texas, but we’ve got a team battle: which is all we’ve ever asked for at this meet.

Below is a summary of the standings after day 2 and improvements. For more in-depth breakdowns, click here to see the Google Doc.
