2024 NAIA National Championships: Day 2 Ups/Downs

2024 NAIA Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving National Championships

Day 2

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.

Women’s Meet

Milligan (+22), St Ambrose (+19), and Lindsey Wilson (+15.5) all had double-digit improvements in Day 2 in Columbus. Keiser and Cumberlands were off by -21 and -13, respectively.
