2024 NCAA Women’s Championships: Day 3 Scoring Analysis

2024 Women’s NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships

FRIDAY FINALS HEAT SHEETS

Texas closed the gap with Virginia by 28 points but it was the Cavaliers who outscored their seedings by the largest number, adding a 19-point pickup over the psych sheet.

Duke, Texas, North Carolina, Stanford, SIU, Louisville, and Auburn all had double-digit gains, while Wisconsin, Alabama, Cal, Florida, Tennessee, and USC were in negative territory. Tennessee had a DQ in an A final which was costly.

If seedings hold on Day 4, Virginia is expected to take home their 4th consecutive title by a 63-point margin.

Now realizing that UVA loses Nelson this year, but keep Gretchen for her senior year, gains Curzan, and apparently can have Alex and Nocentini for one more year too.

Now imagine that Douglass decides to come back for her 5th year. And then, surprise, Regan is coming to UVA too (thought her entering the transfer portal was for ASU? Nope!). And the NCAA, brains-fried by 47.40 (or the pitch of Rowdy’s voice during it) decides to allow you to use your 4 years whenever, and Ledecky and Simone both decide to take a final post-Olympic year as a victory lap.

I doubt Regan Smith is leaving Bob Bowman.

Claire Curzan (W 50 FR, W 100 BK, W 200 BK) definitely shores up the backstroke events so Gretchen Walsh can focus on the freestyle (W 50 FR, W 100 FR) and butterfly (W 100 FL) events.

Leah Hayes replaces Ella Nelson on the individual medleys (W 200 IM, W 400 IM). Not a bad exchange whatsoever.
