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.

Unfortunately many guys chose not to taper for this meet. Man, does coach Marsh know how to teach sprinting. Texas was LOSING after the *** stroke leg with 2 World Record holders on the front.
Didn't Bousquet go a 47.0 in the 100M free at World Champs this summer (on a relay)? I think his speed is for real.
Needless to say I am disappointed that Crocker did not swim faster, though his fly was unbelievable. The 100 Free should be a great race. Bovell, Bouquet, Crocker could all break the current WR.
