Men’s Ups/Downs
Chalk it up to the “Andrew Wilson Effect” if you’d like, but with the first prelims session in the books, Emory is living up to expectations. The Eagles are the only team in title contention that placed at least one swimmer in A finals of each individual event and the relay. Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) kicked off the men’s championships with a big Day One gain, earning a spot in the A final of the 200 medley relay owing to a 1.7-second drop in prelims. Williams, Wash U, Carnegie Mellon, and Chicago all did better than expected in individual events. Keynon had a huge pick-up in the 500 free, as well as nice gains in the 200 IM and 50 free, but they missed the A final of the medley relay which cost them nearly all the cushion they had built up in the individual events. Denison was down 13 on the morning.
