The College Swimming Coaches Association of America announces the second CSCAA / TYR Top 25 Poll for Divisions II and III.  The defending NCAA Champions are the early favorites among NCAA Division II & III Swimming & Diving Teams.  Queens University of Charlotte led both men’s and women’s Division II polls.  In Division III, Emory University and Kenyon College led women’s and men’s standings respectively.

In addition to the national poll, the CSCAA also announced its second Division III regional rankings of the early 2015-16 season.   Kenyon and Emory swept the Central and West-Midwest-South Regions respectively.  In the Northeast-North New York University’s women and MIT’s men held the top spot while in the Northeast-South Carnegie Mellon’s women and TCNJ’s men were voted number one.

The CSCAA Division II and III Poll Committees will produce in-season rankings of the 25 best performing NCAA Swimming and Diving teams in rank order at the time of each poll.  The poll is not designed to predict the results of the NCAA Championship, but rather which teams would win head-to-head against other teams in the country. Ranking are based on performances that have taken place since the previous poll and include invites as well as dual meets.  The committee does not consider teams that have not yet competed in the current college season.
