As SwimSwam reported yesterday, No. 7 Louisville stunned No. 2 Texas on home soil, winning the women’s team standings 488-487, handing Texas its first loss of the season. No. 1 Texas dominated the men’s side with 540 points over Louisville (459) and Ohio State (159).
The competition used a unique format with heats pre-determined as timed finals, with two swimmers per team in each heat. Scoring followed NCAA-style heat-based rules, where placement is determined by which heat a swimmer competed in rather than overall time. This means an athlete who posted a fast time in a ‘B’ heat could only place behind all swimmers in the ‘A’ heat, regardless of whether their time was faster. However, on the final day, Ohio State had to leave early due to incoming inclement weather, so the remaining events were contested as a single heat while maintaining the same scoring format.
