The 2022 Men’s NCAA DI Swimming & Diving Championships will be underway in just a few hours. Before the action kicks off tonight in Atlanta, let’s take a moment to examine the results from the Official SwimSwam Pick’em contest.
Right off the bat, we have an interesting result. The first event of the meet, the 200 medley relay, shows our Pick’em contestants selecting Texas as the favorites. It’s certainly not an out of the blue pick, but the Longhorns are the 4th seed. Of course, a wrench was thrown into the event with the news that Louisville’s Abdelrahman Elaraby, a member of the 2021 title winning relay, has scratched the meet. That hurts Louisville’s chances in the meet.
Our readers also overwhelmingly selected Kieran Smith to win the 500 free. Smith is the NCAA record holder, bit didn’t win the event last year. Defending champion Jake Magahey isn’t the 2nd most popular pick either, those honors went to top seed Matt Sates.
The highest share of votes went to Bobby Finke winning the 1650 free on Saturday. A whooping 98.7% of respondents chose Finke to win the event.

I forgot who I picked for some 2nd-4th finishes. Is there a way we can see our entries?
Looks like a lotta people forgot about NC State in the 200 Medley and Lasco in the 100 back since they weren’t at the top of the drop down
A lot of big favorites on Saturday, but Finke losing would be the only huge surprise imo. Can reasonably talk myself into someone else for every other event that day.
Which I think means this should be a hell of a meet.
Maybe the 4 IM or 200 back are the only other events with an almost assured winner. Although, if Marchand/Lasco are the slightest bit off, someone could pip them at the touch.
It’s pretty cool to see the fans so divided on relays! Goes to show how equal some of the top team are
100 back with some nice division in opinion! Should be a good race
