Win over Princeton Propels Navy to Top of Mid-Major

With a signature win against Princton, Navy's men steamed to the top of the first Endless Pools/CollegeSwimming.com Mid-Major Top 25 of the new year.   Harvard ranked second behind the Midshipmen.  Among women's teams, San Diego State edged Harvard for the top spot in the ranking of non-BCS programs.

Princeton, which was previously-ranked first, actually found looking up at two Ivy rivals.  In addition to #2 Harvard, Yale ranked third with wins over Penn (5th) and Dartmouth (9th).  All three academies ranked in the top ten for the first time this season with Army checking in at 7th and Air Force 10th.  Grand Canyon (6th) and Eastern Michigan (8th) rounded out the top ten.

For the women, SDSU edged Harvard for the top spot by 0.52 seconds.  The rest of the top ten was far more diverse than the men's side with seven different conferences represented.  Boise State, Towson, and Miami ranked 3-th while Yale, San Jose State, UC-Davis, Rice and Northeastern all made the top ten.

Several top Mid-Major teams were either idle or swam off lineups over the ranking period which runs from December 18-January 12th.  Those expected to make a return in the coming week include UNLV, Denver and Florida Gulf Coast.

The Endless Pools/CollegeSwimming.com is the only objective ranking of swimming for NCAA Divisions I, II, and III, NAIA, and NJCAA.   The rankings utilize a point system based on NCAA time standards, predicted qualifying times and percentile rankings from the past four season.  (Read More at our Point FAQ.)
