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.

UPDATED AFTER DIVING: Indiana and Ohio State both earned 2 places in the A-final of 1-meter diving, improving their overall ranking at the end of the day. All numbers below have now been updated.
The top-seeded and heavily-favored Arizona State Sun Devils broke away from the pack on Thursday morning, earning 6 A-final and 3 B-final slots for Day 2 finals in individual swimming events. While ASU had a bit of a setback in the 500 free, with only #1 seed Leon Marchand qualifying (2nd) for the A final, they made up for it by getting 2 in the B final (including Daniel Matheson, squeaking by at 16th place), 3 in the A final of the 200 IM, and 2 more in the A final of the 50 free. The Sun Devils are on their way to establishing a 40-point lead by the end of the night (although these numbers will change when the diving results are in).
Vying for position behind ASU are Cal, Florida, NC State, Texas, and Tennessee.
Cal nabbed 4 A-final slots; one each in the 500 free and 200 IM and two in the 50 free. The Golden Bears were up 29 points over the psych sheet for the morning. Texas, +11 points versus seedings, earned 2 A-final spots in the 500 free and one in the 200 IM. Tennessee put 2 in the A final of the 50 free.
Florida will have 6 finalists tonight; 1 in the A final of the 50 free and 2 in the B finals of the 50 and 500 free and 1 in the B final of the 200 IM. NC State had 1 up (200 IM) and 3 down (one in each event), pretty much even with their seeds. Michigan and SMU (both 1 up, 1 down) improved by 8 and 13 points, respectively.

Great to see the Sundevils dynasty in men’s swimming coming back to life. Go Devils !
Diving – Indiana and OSU – 2 up, Texas – 2 down, Cal – nothing.
Surprised to see the Longhorns projected so low.
WELL, it looks as though Texas is outperforming on Day 2 – once again, confounding the naysayers. But, the meet is still in its early phases, and a lot can happen, but not a bad day for Longhorns who, not too long ago, were ranked below Notre Dame. Not anymore!
Missed a couple on the 2IM. But overall, very good so far.
The problem for Texas is what do they have left for points?
-200 free for Hobson – but who knows what his energy level is going to look like after trying to stick with Marchand in the 500 (remember the dropoff Townley had in his 200 after his record 500)
-Breaststrokes for Foster – but his IM was kinda meh.
-Backstrokes for Modglin – but he seems to be not quite at peak performance if his IM is indication
-Carrozza ought to put up a few points in the 200 free
Germonprez is swimming well but I’m not sure he can score in his other events. Cole Crane is also probably not scoring… maybe if you… Read more »
So far their divers are underperforming
Yeah… looks like they might have one scorer in 1m today…
Good, fair assessment. Hobson might score a couple in the 100 free. Relays will probably be around where UT finishes overall – back half of the top 10. It’s been a hell of a run.
Who is the head coach of Arizona these days? How have they became completely irrelevant?

That’s a Go Devils!
Any idea why Divemeets isn’t showing live results? They did for women’s D1 NCAAs.
