Psyche sheets are up from Men's Div I NCAA to be held the weekend of March 25th at the "Goodwill Games" Pool on L.I.

This year, they will compete SCM (as we discussed elsewhere our esteemed leaders decided not to compete LCM until more schools had 50 meter). The meters option is only for Olympic years.
The meet is likely to produce a number of NCAA records and a few world records (relays and some standout individuals).
Predictions for top five finish? Here's mine:
1) Auburn (Marsh accomplishes first back-to-back double/double)
2) Texas (proof that this is truly a team sport...you need more than 3 big horses to win)
3) Standford ("hollywood" of US swimming cannot win the big prize again)
4) California (the "other" bay area program with some truly incredible sprinters)
5) Florida (my heart's with Minn but have to pick the once again strong Florida program)
BTW, Kenyon men win their 25th consecutive title--the most successful NCAA program ever. Only one close is the Kenyon women 20 out of 21 national titles and Auburn wins narrowly over Georgia.

Crocker...first man under 50 seconds for 100 meter fly or will he just repeat his long course performance and skip the 50s and go 49+.
By his medley relay performance where he was faster than some of the freestylers at 48.62 I think he may go 49 low. His coach said he went out too fast in a 21.9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His splits of 21.9 and 26.72 indicated he went out WAY too fast and died a little bit. Say he goes out in 23.0 and comes back in 26.0, a 3 second difference is more like it.
Sure would love to see that swim... 100 meters fly in 49!!!!!! Has to be a thing of beauty.
