Kenyon Leads Division III Poll

Kenyon College, the defending Division III NCAA Swimming and Diving Champions hold the top spots in the 2009-10 season's first CSCAA / CollegeSwimming.com Division III Poll.  On the men's side, Kenyon captured all fifteen of the first place votes.  The Lords topped Denison, which was ranked second by a 139-104 margin earlier this season.  The Big Red edged Emory which is ranked third.

On the women's side, seven voters weren't convinced that Kenyon's early season 139-104 loss to Denison was enough to knock the Ladies from number one.  Denison garnered five first-place votes, two more than second-ranked Emory University.
