Scoring the NCAA Women’s D1 Pre-Selection Psych Sheet

by Andrew Mering 11

February 27th, 2018 College, News, Previews & Recaps

The pre-selection psych sheet was released this morning. The main purpose of this document is figuring out who qualified for the meet (our analysis here). However, while this isn’t the final official psych sheet, the cut line will fall well below the scoring swimmers at 16th place and any event changes will be minor. Therefore scoring out this psych sheet gives a fairly valid impression of where teams stand heading into the meet. The biggest missing variable is diving which isn’t on the pre-selection psych sheet.

Stanford unsurprisingly leads the way with 527.5 points. Behind them is Cal with 366.5 and Texas A&M with 338.

3 of the top 5 individuals by projected points belong to Stanford. Katie Ledecky and Simone Manuel are tied for first with a perfect 60 points and Ella Eastin is 5th with 51. Texas A&M’s Sydney Pickrem is 3rd with 56 and Cal’s Kathleen Baker is 4th with 53. The complete individual swimmer points are below.

The highest single event scores are Texas A&M with 63 in the 200 breast and Stanford with 57 in the 400 IM. The event by event scores for each of the top 10 ranked teams are below.

Cal hangs onto second due to strong relays. Fewer individual swimmers than Texas A&M and other schools.

Beryl Gastaldelllo is a question mark and has counted for 20 pts in the projection. I think Cal can keep it in the 340-350 range and get 2nd

Conversely, if Beryl Gastaldello shows up strong for NCAAs it could bump Texas A&M’s relays up which would help minimize their relay disadvantage.

The actual highest single event score is Texas A&M in the 200 breast – 63

Texas A&M has four of the top-8 in that event. We’ll see if they can get them all into the fast final.

A&M is projected for 63 points in the 2 breast.

Georgia and Texas should both improve off their seed positions. Georgia really fell quite far this year. USC doesnt look that bad after a horrible conference meet.

USC’s problem at conference is all depth — this meet was always going to be better for them. Still, it’s shocking that they won Pac-12s just two years ago…
