The Emory men’s and women’s teams moved up in the rankings, and now sit atop the November College Swim Coaches Association (CSCAA) dual meet polls after ranking 2nd and 3rd respectively last month.
Men’s Rankings
The Emory men have one of the weakest records on the men’s side, sitting 1-2 on the season so far. Their two losses come from dual meets with Division I teams Queens and Georgia Tech, while their win came from their meet with Sewanee at the end of October.
The Eagles also won their Fall Invitational the 2nd weekend in November, defeating Wingate and Carson-Newman. They currently sit atop the CSCAA rankings, earning 18 more votes than 2nd place Chicago, who moved up two spots from 4th.
Last month’s leader Denison moved to 3rd, currently sitting 3-0 for the season while Carnegie Mellon moved up two spots to 4th and Kenyon maintained their position in 5th.
There were a few major jumps on the men’s side. Pomona-Pitzer and UC Santa Cruz both moved up 10 spots while SUNY Geneseo and Calvin moved up seven after their October duals.
Five teams also earned their way onto the rankings after going unranked in October: Trinity (TX), Gettysburg, John Carroll, RIT, and Washington & Lee

Women’s Rankings
The Emory women moved up two spots to rank 1st in the polls after they took down Division I Queens and Sewanee to have a 2-1 record.
NYU, who was first last month, dropped to 2nd by 11 votes. Kenyon defeated Denison in their dual meet last weekend, helping them move up to 3rd in the rankings from their 5th place spot last month while Denison drops from 2nd to 4th. MIT also dropped one spot to move into 5th. They didn’t stay in the same positions, but the schools in the top five all stayed there.
The women’s rankings stayed far more consistent with no major jumps happening and only two new schools appearing on the list this month: SUNY Geneseo and DePauw.
