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.
