Day 1 Ups/Downs: A Strong Morning Gives The Longhorns An Early Advantage

With six A final swims, one B final swim, and three divers that are expected to score on the 1 meter, the Texas Longhorns have the advantage going into tonight’s finals.

The Longhorns aren’t running away with anything, however. Michigan will have 6 A final swims tonight, with both relays in their respective A finals as well. California will also be very competitive with 5 A final swims and 3 B finals swims. Florida also went 5 up, 3 down, but their 200 freestyle relay missed the A final.

I think the biggest team surprises are how much Michigan has moved up and how much SC has slipped. With a consolation prize to Cal for moving up a bit.

Was really pulling for Hinshaw to get a second swim in the 500 this year. Would have put the Bears in an intimidating position. Though through the livestream, they’re the only team you can hear chanting and cheering. Good energy.

Texas divers got 11th and a top.

So, counting relays as double and diving, that gives us…

Texas 9-1
Cal 7-3
Mich 8-0
FL 6-4
NC State 6-3
USC 4-4
Bama 5-0
UGA 3-5
Stan 3-4
Aub 4-1

Thanks for this, Wethorn. Wow I’m surprised Cal and Mich are that close to TX, especially with Cals goose eggs on both the 500 and diving. This is gonna be a great meet, or TX may run away with it but even if they do it would still be great battle for 2nd-4th.

If you guys want this to have any predictive ability, you need to double-count the up/downs for relays in the totals.

Stanford swam Nolan three times this morning. It seems like they might burn that kid out. Not sure he can break 1:40 tonight since he is probably already tired.

Nolan’s carrying so much of that team it’s not even funny. Murphy is going to be right there – and I hear he’s hungry.
