Posted: Nov 13, 2015
November 11, 2016 - Norfolk, VA - The College Swimming Coaches Association of America announces the first 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. Emory University and Kenyon College led the Division III women's and men's standings respectively while Queens University of Charlotte was the unanimous choice for both Division II men and women.
In addition to the national poll, the CSCAA also announced its first Division III regional rankings of the early 2015-16 season. Among the regional rankings there were three sweeps among men's and women's teams. In the West-Midwest-South Region, Emory took the top spots while Kenyon and New York University swept their respective Central and Northeast-North Regions. The only split was in the Northeast-South region where Carnegie Mellon topped the women's poll and TCNJ was voted number one among men's teams.
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.
