March 10-14, 2026 Deaconess Aquatic Center — Evansville, Indiana SCY (25 Yards) Defending Champions Women: Nova Southeastern (3x) Men: vacant Psych Sheets Men Women Live Video Live Results Live Recaps: Prelims: Day 2 | Day 3 Finals: Day 1 | Day 2For 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 two finals heats: the top 8 finishers make the A final, places 9 through 16 the B 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” and “Downs” after each prelims session. “Up” refers to swimmers and divers in the A final, “Down” to B finalists.

Tampa and Drury both matched the Sharks by going 3/2 in the session, while Grand Valley also impressed by earning three ‘A’ finalists. All four teams are seeded to score more than 50 points tonight, but it’s Nova Southeastern leading the way as they look to extend their advantage with hopes of a fourth straight national title.

Drury — 152 Tampa — 149 Colorado Mesa — 139 Indy — 120 McKendree — 86.5 Findlay — 66 Grand Valley — 64 Lynn — 61 Wingate — 58 Clarion — 54Just three points separated Drury and Tampa in the team standings coming out of Wednesday night’s session, and there was not much between the two teams again this morning, both going 4/3.
The Spartans landed two ‘A’ finalists in both the 100 fly and 200 free, while the Panthers did the same in the 200 free and also went 2/1 in the 400 IM.
Lynn University notably put two up in the 100 fly, their only two swimmers making it back to tonight’s session.
In the scoring race, Drury projects to outscore Tampa by 3.5 points tonight, not factoring in the relay, which means the battle for the title will likely come down to the wire and still be incredibly close heading into Friday.
Colorado Mesa, Indy and McKendree look firmly entrenched in 3-4-5 positions for the time being.
