March 6, 2026 – The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) has released the final edition of the Division III Top 25 Dual Meet Polls. The NYU women jumped to the top of the rankings, while the Denison men remained steady in the No. 1 spot.
The committee, consisting of Division III coaches, assesses and ranks the nation’s top 25 dual meet teams. Their evaluation takes into account head-to-head dual meet outcomes, performances since the last rankings, season-long results, dual meet records, roster changes (such as injuries), and data from the SwimCloud Simulator. It is important to note that the poll’s objective is not to predict the top finishers in a championship meet format.
Denison (418) holds the top position in the Division III Men’s March Poll. The Big Red have held the top spot since the December rankings. NYU (413) moved up one spot to take second, just five points behind Denison. Emory (390), Chicago (377), and Kenyon (350) round out the top five. The biggest mover was Williams (315), which made a significant jump from 21st into the top ten at No. 8. Tufts (272) climbed three spots to claim the final position in the top ten. Another notable mover was Bates (192), which rose ten spots to No. 14. Two newcomers entered the March poll as Gettysburg (34) and Chapman (10) rounded out the rankings at No. 24 and No. 25. A total of 29 teams received votes in the March poll.
On the women’s side, NYU (342) claimed the top spot for the first time since the October preseason poll. It was a tight race at the top, as Kenyon (334) edged Emory (332) for second. Denison (308) and MIT (294) rounded out the top five. The biggest mover was Salisbury (90), which jumped four spots to No. 20. UC Santa Cruz (27) entered the Top 25 at No. 24. A total of 27 teams received votes in the March poll.jj
