2024 NAIA National Championships: Day 3 Ups/Downs

2024 NAIA Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving National Championships

Day 3

For those unfamiliar with swimming terminology, the concept of “Ups” and “Downs” is a good way to track which teams performed best at prelims. In prelims, swimmers qualify for one of two finals heats: the top 8 finishers make the A final, places 9 through 16 the B final. In finals, swimmers are locked into their respective final, meaning a swimmer in the B heat (spots 9-16) can only place as high as 9th or as low as 16th, even if they put up the fastest or slowest time of any heat in the final.

With that in mind, we’ll be tracking “Ups” and “Downs” after each prelims session. “Up” refers to swimmers and divers in the A final, “Down” to B finalists.

Women’s Meet

Keiser led with 9 A finalist and 6 B finalists, moving along as scheduled toward their 3rd consecutive national title. St Thomas, with 5 up/6 down, look like they’ve got a lock on second place. The interesting battles are taking place among ONU, Lindsey Wilson and Milligan for third place, and between Indiana Wesleyan and Cumberlands for sixth. SCAD missed a couple of finals today, which might have taken them out of that race, but the Bees are still ahead of Master’s; both teams, along with Bethel Indiana, are expected to finish in the top 10.
