Texas or TekSucks – minus 40

Carol Capitani should be fired.

I do think it’s interesting that when texas swimmers have been doing well this year people say Bowman’s training has been paying off but when they underperform people blame Capitani

The University of Texas women’s swimming program is the most overhyped and overrated in NCAA history.

Per a comment below, I wondered what the season best data was for preliminary swims (improving upon entry time).

500: 11/65
2IM: 22/63
50: 15/71
Day 1 Total: 48/199 (24.12%)

100Fl: 17/50
4IM: 7/46
2Fr: 13/49
1Br: 11/48
1Bk: 12/50
Day 2 Total: 60/253 (23.71% )

1650: 11/41
2Bk: 14/46
1Fr: 22/74
2Br: 13/74
2Fl: 11/45
Day 3 Total: 71/280 (25.35%)

Meet Total: 179/732 (24.45%)

If someone has time maybe they can look at blending with final swims. By discipline would be interesting as well.

It’s interesting to see that Texas and Tennessee had almost the exact same swimming and relay numbers. Pretty incredible that, due to Texas’ diving prowess, Tennessee was never really considered a serious top contender or given enough credit for how much they scored in the pool. I forget how important diving is to the team title. Indiana and Texas really benefit from such strong diving programs.

Do we think the 3 runner up teams will cut their diving programs and forfeit all those points next year? 🤭
