STANDINGS AFTER DAY 3

1. NC State – 853
2. Virginia – 762
3. Louisville – 746
4. Virginia Tech – 596
5. Florida State – 589.5
6. Notre Dame – 558.5
7. North Carolina – 486
8. Pitt – 385
9. Georgia Tech – 379
10. Duke – 344
11. Miami (diving only) – 197
12. Boston College – 102

While NC State’s lead is not completely insurmountable, a lot would have to go wrong at this point for UVA or Louisville to make up the roughly 100 point difference. Those two schools, however, should be in for a tight battle on the final day, where from a quick glance, they seem to be evenly matched in terms of potential A-finalists, and the race for 2nd could come down to which team gets more swimmers into B- and C-finals.

The race for 4th should also be fun; Virginia Tech has a 6.5 point lead on Florida State, with Notre Dame about 45 points back. UNC probably has 7th locked up, while Pitt and Georgia Tech are only separated by 6 points in the battle for 8th. Duke, Miami, and Boston College are likely to finish 10th, 11th, and 12th, respectively.
