Team Points Race: Things have really tightened up with one day of racing left to go. Georgia still leads, but defending champs Cal are just 17.5 points back. Meanwhile Stanford’s relay win vaulted them into third place, just 2.5 behind Cal and 20 away from Georgia.
Texas A&M and Virginia are also dueling, with the Aggies sitting 5.5 points up on the Cavaliers. Louisville could conceivably get into that hunt as well, with a 20 point gap keeping them below Virginia and another 20 point gap putting them ahead of USC.
Based on our scoring projections after prelims, Georgia has improved 18 points from their prelims seeds. Cal actually improved some as well, though just half a point, while Stanford rose 3.5. With all three teams clearly showing up to swim at finals, tomorrow night’s team battle could turn out to be one for the ages.
Top 10 Teams:
- Georgia – 285
- California – 267.5
- Stanford – 265
- Texas A&M – 201.5
- Virginia – 196
- Louisville – 176
- USC – 156.5
- Indiana – 153
- T-9 Missouri – 106
- T-9 Arizona – 106
