FINIS Pick ‘Em Contest Getting Tight Headed Into Final Day of Men’s NCAA Championships

Day two wasn’t quite as successful of a day at the 2013 Men’s NCAA Championships as day 1 was for our pickers. Nobody, for example, had Stanford’s Tom Kremer in the top 3 of their 200 freestyle picks. The 400 IM also threw a lot of people for a loop (outside of Kalisz at the top). Exactly 99 of you had Sebastien Rousseau to finish in the top three (he was DQ’ed in prelims), but only 8 of you had his teammate Dan Wallace there.

The daily winners for day 2 are mirmaid96, who recovered from a tough first day with a splendid 2nd day; followed by a pair of Zach’s: Zach K and Zach G. Pure coincidence, but a funny one at that. (P.S. – we had two people entered with just “Zach” as their display name, so Zach K, we added your initial).

Those daily winners will each receive a FINIS prize pack that includes goggles, a cap, and a sticker.

As for the overall lead, man is this a tight battle! a_trojan and swim4me are tied at the top with 114 points, and there’s five who are within 10 points of them. Forget about Michigan vs. Cal, this is serious. A SwiMP3 underwater MP3 player is on the line from FINIS!

For those pulling for the ladies, #swammer, who sits third right now, is the only female entrant with more than 100 points (aka, in the top 10).

(Note: we went ahead and removed the duplicates, so these rankings should now be pretty true.)
