    For those unfamiliar with swimming terminology, the concept of “Ups” and “Downs” is a good way to track which teams performed best in heats. During prelims, swimmers qualify for one of two finals: the top 8 finishers make the A final, while 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 finals, “Down” to B finalists. This prediction does not include diving.

    Women’s UP/Downs

    After the day four prelims session, the NYU women seem to have locked up their overall team title. They are projected to score 124 points during the session, 60 of which come from the 100 freestyle where they put three swimmers into the ‘A’ final and two swimmers in the ‘B’.

    Men’s Up/Downs

    The NYU men are projected to score more points than Denison, but it isn’t enough to close the gap Denison has built over the first three days of the meet. NYU have a projected 105 points for the session, just 3.5 more than Denison’s projected 101.5.
