Individual Breakdown Women
Power are Swimulator power points. Those are a way to quantify time quality independent of what event the time is from. Includes only final times and final dive scores.
Nice job, MIAC swimmers and divers! Far too much to acknowledge.
Gustavus with another dominant win on the men’s side. Top 4 individual scorers. It would be exciting to see Carleton or St. John’s in the mix next year, but Gustavus has still got to be the favorites since that big senior class took up 9 1/3 spots, which is a lot of room they can fill next year. Now, two years from now could be a very different story. But if Andrew Mering says it really is up for grabs next year, I’ll believe it!
Feels like the whole top of the conference in distance events is graduating, with the exception of Strom.
seems to me that Voss has got to be swimmer of the meet on the women’s side. wentzel’s an undeniable stud, but probably could have won all her events in her sleep (with the exception, maybe, of that 500).
Mac’s first-years (168 points) and sophomores (158) seem to be quite a force. as far as I can tell, this #3 finish is the best in program history…and it seems like it’s not a fluke.
Mostly, it’s refreshing to see events (like the 50 free or the 400 IM) with six schools represented in the A final. That kind of mix makes the team battle so much more interesting, and the I can only imagine the noise on deck… Read more »
