Cedarburg and Edgewood Lead Wisconsin HS Girls into State Meets

This weekend was Sectionals weekend in Wisconsin girls high school swimming. Besides crowning champions of each individual section, state qualifiers were awarded after the conclusion of the last pre-championship level of high school swimming.

Given those, we can learn quite a bit about what to expect next weekend. Scoring out the D1 psych sheet gives Cedarburg a slim 194-191.5 lead over Middleton (on a scored psych sheet, margins that close are best viewed as ties). Notably, Cedarburg led Middleton 265-254.5 on the psych sheet headed into the meet last year, and Middleton won the meet 313.5-242 over Cedarburg.  Middleton lead the way this year with 15 individual qualifiers. Next are Arrowhead with 14, Waukesha South with 13, and Sun Prairie with 12. Cedarburg have 9.

13 teams got the maximum 3 relays into the meet. However, Middleton wasn’t one of them. They DQ’d their 400 free relay and therefore didn’t qualify that event. This means Middleton will need to build a substantial lead before the final event, otherwise their title defense could be upset by a dramatic final event comeback. In the psych sheet projection, Cedarburg trail Middleton 160-191.5 going into the 400 free relay, but Cedarburg’s 34 points for their #2 seed push them over the top.

No D1 swimmer has 2 top seeds, but 3 swimmers have a 1 seed and a 2 seed: Hannah Aegerter of Middleton (200 free-1st, 500 free-2nd), Kennedy Gilbertson of Stevens Point (100 free-1st, 100 back-2nd), and Grace Bennin of Verona Area/Mt Horeb (100 breast-1st, 200 IM-2nd).

Scoring the D2 psych sheet gives Edgewood a massive lead and makes them the favorites to win their 4th straight team title. Edgewood project to 313 points, well ahead of 2nd place McFarland who have 207. Edgewood got 15 individual swims into the meet. Next best are Whitnall with 10. McFarland have 9. 6 teams got the maximum 3 relays in.

McFarland’s Alexandra Moderski (50 free, 100 free) and Tomahawk’s Kylee Theiler (200 free, 500 free) each hold the top seed in 2 events and will be looking for double titles on Friday.

Below I compiled score projections, and for the top 10 teams, seeded event scores and score progression projections. D2 data is below D1. Below the team data is individual points projections for each division. Obviously this will all change significantly next weekend, but this is a good baseline to start from.

Wow, thanks to andrew for putting this analysis together, that’s a rather comprehensive look at the numbers so far. What the numbers will never show is:
– Who was sick at sectionals. I personally know of several girls at different sectionals that were sick, one of those sick girls WILL be a factor at state.
– What girls were on a short rest at sectionals, and who was fully tapered. Some girls will go significantly faster at state than they did at sectionals.

It will be fun to watch the results next weekend.

DeeDee has the flu, WISCA posted that in their article about sectionals, otherwise she would be the favorite to win the D2 500 and would probably only have competition from Kylee Theiler of Tomahawk in the 200
