For those unfamiliar with swimming terminology, the concept of “Ups” and “Downs” is a good way to track which teams performed best at prelims. In prelims, swimmers qualify for one of three finals heats: the top 8 finishers make the A final, places 9 through 16 the B final and places 17 through 24 the C final. In finals, swimmers are locked into their respective final, meaning a swimmer in the B heat (spots 9-16) can only place as high as 9th or as low as 16th, even if they put up the fastest or slowest time of any heat in the final.
With that in mind, we’ll be tracking “Ups,” “Mids,” and “Downs” after each prelims session. “Ups” refers to swimmers and divers in the A final, “Mids” to B finalists, and “Downs” to C finalists.
Scores After Day 3
Princeton – 948 Penn – 770 Harvard – 744.5 Brown – 736 Yale – 606 Cornell – 428 Dartmouth – 343.5 Columbia – 337Princeton continued to outperform the psych sheet, this time increasing their scoring potential by an extra 67 points. The Tigers will have 13 ‘A’ finalists, 6 ‘B’ finalists, and 1 ‘C’ finalists tonight. That includes 4 in the top 8 of the 200 fly, 3 in diving, 2 in the 200 back and 100 free, and 1 in the 1650 free and 200 breast.
The most exciting team race of the weekend, however, is playing out among Harvard, Penn, and Brown, who are all jockeying for 2nd place in the standings. Each of them has a legitimate shot at the runner-up trophy, and it is likely to come down to distance freestyle, diving, and the 400 free relay. Penn has 20 scorers, including 10 ‘A’ finalists; Harvard has 23 (9 ‘A’ finalist); and Brown 20 (8 ‘A’ finalsits).
Columbia did 30 points better than their seedings and are expected to slip past Dartmouth in the team standings.
