Day Three produced some of the most exciting races we’ve seen so far, including a couple of upsets.

Stanford had the biggest gains on the day. The Cardinal picked up 46 points from their 200 free performances alone, with three A-finalists including NCAA champion Taylor Ruck, who hadn’t even been seeded among the top 16. Their daily haul netted out to +38 after slipping a few spots in the 400 IM, 100 fly, and 100 back, vis-à-vis the psych sheet.

Virginia improved from the psych sheet in every event. Overall, they added 19.5 points to their projected scores.

USC pulled off a couple of upsets, with Kaitlyn Dobler winning the 100 breast title and the 400 medley relay scoring in the top-8. NC State’s Katharine Berkoff stunned with an American and NCAA record in the 100 back, adding 7 points which helped offset a loss of 9 points in the 100 breast.

UNC, Florida, Louisville, and Northwestern were all up by double digits.
