Although Olivia Smoliga was a popular pick to win the 50 free, from a “Pick ‘Em” perspective, women’s NCAA’s got off to a crazy start, with Brittany MacLean upsetting Missy Franklin in the 500 freestyle, and the Stanford Cardinal winning a pair of relays in surprising fashion, just as the Tennessee Volunteers did a year ago.
Through the first day of competition, user “Hpk6726″ is the leader with 38 points, and will receive a Nike prize package for his or her efforts.
Day 1 Notes
- While MacLean was tied for the second overall seed in the 500 freestyle with Franklin coming into the meet, just 11 of 384 participants picked MacLean to win. 329 had Franklin taking the event.
- Olivia Smoliga was the only “favored” winner on the night; 161 entrants pegged the Georgia freshman to win, nearly 60 more votes than Ivy Martin, the next highest vote-getter.
- 378 of 384 participants had some variation of Melanie Margalis, Maya Dirado, and Elizabeth Pelton as their top three in the 200 IM. The six others picked Celina Li to finish third.
- No love for the Stanford relays coming into NCAA’s. 25 picked the Cardinal to take the 200 free relay, while only 13 chose the 400 medley relay.
- Only one entry (“JSP“) picked Stanford to win both the 200 free and 400 medley relays.
Again a reminder of the scoring system:
SCORING
We’ve changed the scoring system ever-so-slightly from the one we used for Worlds, and upped the point values for picking event winners. We felt that as compared to meets like World Championships, picking winners at NCAA’s can be a little tougher, and so we’ve made picking both the 1st and 2nd place finishers worth 4 points.
- 1st – 4 points
- 2nd – 4 points
- 3rd – 3 points
- 4th – 2 points
- Correctly Picking “Other” in correct spot – 3 bonus points, plus earned points
- Successfully predicting a swimmer in the top 4, but in the wrong spot – 1 bonus point
Full standings are below. We worked to eliminate duplicates (one entry per person). If you notice anything weird or funky, let us know below.
Update: An error in the scoring algorithm has been found, and corrected, below.
Update #2: The original day #1 scores were actually correct. The scoring algorithm error only affected day #2.

If this is the corrected first day why does NATCAT not have 41 points counted as the first day in the corrected second day for overall points?
The initial algorithm error only affected day #2, original day #1 scores were correct. Fixed now.
What if our name isn’t on the list? Does that just mean I did really poorly? lol
Elite-o-meter… yikes.
Who is this impostor of Bogi Gibo, 125th? 😡
