Fresh off of a pair of wins against #17 Arizona, the University of Texas Men’s Swimming & Diving team extended their lead atop the CSCAA / TYR Division I Top 25 Poll. The Longhorns collected all nine first-place votes as they have in four of the previous five polls. The University of California remained in second while Georgia moved up one to third.
Within the Top Ten, Michigan made the biggest jump, moving up four spots after Top 25 wins over Ohio State, Duke and Indiana. That moved the Wolverines past Florida and Auburn into a tie with Georgia at number three. Following those two are Florida, Auburn and NC State.
The poll was not kind to Cardinals or the Cardinal. Despite wins over Arizona State and Arizona, Stanford slipped three spots to number eight while #9 Indiana’s convincing win over Louisville dropped the Cardinals from the Top Ten for the first tine since November. Tennessee edged out Alabama for the final spot in the top ten.
Three new teams made or re-entered the Top 25. Princeton re-entered the Poll at #19 for their first appearance since December 9th when they were 25th. Harvard entered at #21 for their best showing since December 9th (when they were 29th). Texas A&M impressed voters with wins over Southern Methodist and 25th ranked Louisiana State. The Aggies entered for the first time since October 28th when they polled 28th.
