Denison & Emory Enter Conference Season #1
Entering the Conference Championship Season, the Denison University Men and Emory University women remain atop the CSCAA / TYR Top 25 Division III Swimming & Diving Poll. The two teams have occupied the top spot since the season's first poll back in October.
Regionally, Emory continued to lead both West-Midwest-South Polls. Denison's men and women remained atop the Central Region as did Carnegie Mellon University in the Northeast-South Region. The only split was in the Northeast-North Region where MIT's men and Williams' women led the way.
