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 two finals heats: the top 8 finishers make the A final and 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 in the A final, and “Down” to swimmers in the B final.

Virginia holds a solid lead through day three, and it looks like they may be able to grow it even more after placing the most swimmers into tonight’s A finals. Stanford holds a slight lead over Texas. Both placed the same amount of swimmers into A finals but Stanford has an additional three B finalists. Alabama and NC State are also in a close battle. Although Alabama placed an additional swimmer into tonight’s A finals, NC State has two more B finalists than Alabama.
In a tight battle for sixth through ninth place, Cal, Ohio St, Louisville, and Michigan all will have at least one finalist tonight. Cal has the most A finalists with two, but Louisville has the most B finalists with five.
The top three teams scoring wise control all of the top seeds tonight. Virginia has the top seed in the 100 freestyle and 200 breaststroke, Texas has the top seed in the 200 butterfly, and Stanford has the top seed in the 200 backstroke.

It would be interesting to see the psych sheet up/downs alongside the actual results
Texas divers and distance swimmers could make this interesting.
The last relay could hurt them. Will hurt them.
2 milers and 3 divers plus great morning swims makes for a good battle tonight
Texas with 3 up on platform
With Texas having 3 divers in the a final and Sullivan and pfeiffer in the mile, where does that put them?
