2023 NCAA WOMEN’S SWIMMING AND DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

With the 2023 Women’s NCAA Championships right around the corner next week, let’s take a look at what the meet would look like if everything happened exactly as expected according to the official psych sheets.

Virginia is projected to cruise to a three-peat with 465 points, 73 points ahead of second-place Texas. You can toggle between the two tabs, scores and ranks, to see how the dynamic of the meet is expected to shift across the four days of action in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The Cavaliers are expected to lead for the entire meet except for a brief stint after the 800 free relay on the opening night. They really start to pull away following the 200 IM on the second day of action, where Kate Douglass and Alex Walsh are the top two seeds.

The battle for third place actually seems like it might be closer than the battle for second. Texas, Stanford, and NC State are expected to be neck-and-neck on the final day of competition before the Longhorns are projected to pull away during the 100 free, 200 breast, and 200 fly, where they boast the top three qualifiers (Emma Sticklen, Kelly Pash, and Dakota Luther). Meanwhile, the Cardinal are expected to finish more than 60 points behind Texas, and just 23 points ahead of the fourth-place Wolfpack.

I know this is swim swam and not dive dove but it feels silly to try to speculate or get excited from this chart when diving is not included.

So, Longhorns need 80 from the divers. They’re taking five and all five can score. 16 each would do it.

UVA has two divers also (though neither has scored at NCAAs previously).

Virginia is going to score more than a combined 8 points in the 1650 FR and 200 FL though. Probably closer to 25-30, assuming Donahoe places somewhere between 8-10 and Walsh 1-4.

Texas had 90 from diving last year.
