I think the Women’s was pretty close in terms of scoring. However, the men’s had a 200 point lead advantage over OSU

Yes. The women's score was close  but the men dominated the final night to pull away. They outscored OSU by over 200 points on night 4 to extend their ~100 point lead to the final difference of ~300 points.

Looking solid so far. I was thinking top 10 would be good. 
I was surprised no one score in the 1m yesterday.

Me too.

I haven't paid much attention this year. Where is Tarrin Gilliland? I know she didn't dive at zones so she's not at the NCAAs. Injured? Taking the year off?

No idea. She’s still on the roster. 
I’ve noticed with swimming they don’t really announce injuries.

I've seen it mentioned in a couple of articles but it mostly like "noticeable was the absence of Gilliland" without saying much more than that. Didn't say (or even hint at) the reason why.

Women finish 7th. They had a strong final day with 4 individuals and a relay finish in the top 8.

They were to 10 and the second Big Ten team. Only 4 points behind OSU and they had a relay get DQ’d. Looks like a good performance to me.

Men off to a good start at the championship meet with by finishing 5th in the 200 medley relay and 4th in the the 800 free relay. In 5th place after day 1 with 60 points.

The medley relay had some insane breast splits with the top 5 splits of all time happening this year. One of those fast splits was IU's Van Mathias going 22.53 for 4th all time.

IU in 6th after day 2. Capo finished 2nd in the 1m, only 4.5 points behind 1st. The 200 free relay finished 9th after coming in seeded 12th. Van Mathias was the only individual swimmer to score points, finishing 11th in the 50 free. 

Not IU but there were a few records broken. Marchand of ASU swam an insane 1:36.34 in the 200 IM, breaking his own record by over 1 second.

The Hoosiers had a GREAT day 3 and jumped up to 4th place. 2 Hoosiers won their events and 3 other individuals and the 400 medley relay medaled. It all started in the morning by placing 6 in the A finals and 3 in the B finals. Most of them then improved on their prelims seeding.

Frankel finished 3rd in the 100 fly (Burns was 9th) - PR

Mathias was 2nd in the 100 breast (Matheny was 9th)

Burns is the National Champion in the 100 back - PR, pool record, 3rd all time

Capobianco is the National Champion on the 3m with Henninger 3rd and Tyler 4th - that's 51 points right there

400 medley relay was 2nd - faster than previous NCAA record

https://swimswam.com/2023-division-i-mens-ncaa-championships-day-3-finals-live-recap/

Non-IU: Marchand broke his own NCAA record in the 400 IM by 3 seconds. 3:28.82 and won by almost 6 seconds. He's insanely good.

An article before tonight's finals about Van Mathias changing up his events this year. It's paid off for him and IU.

IU "won" day, scoring 160 points.

Article on Burns' win. It has a video of the race and he had a great 3rd turn/underwater. Hit the wall 4th and was 1st when he came up.

Day 4 should be another solid one. Burns has the 200 fly that he won last year and the 200 Br should be a good one. 
 

It’s too bad they ruled Hafnaoui ineligible . He would’ve put up some points.

They get 4 swimmers into the A finals:

100 free - Mathias (7)

200 breast - Matheny (6)

200 fly - Burns (4), Frankel (7) - there is also a swim off for the 8th spot so unlikely Frankel finishes worse than that

The divers will likely come through with some points.

Hafnaoui certainly would've helped. IU isn't going to score any points in the 1650 this year and didn't score in the 500.

Edit: Hoosiers are in a good position to hold on to 4th place, especially when taking diving into account.

Getting those guys in at 7th is big. It seemed like a few guys didn’t have great morning swims yesterday but brought it in finals to be 9th with times that should’ve been 5-7. 
 

Finishing 4th would be a great day.
