August 28, 2010 Congrats to USA swimmers who medaled in every event and cleaned up winning both relays and leading Australia 322-261 so far. I'd be interested in seeing the mens and women's scores separated out, which reminds me I never saw men's and women's scores separated out for regular Pan Pacs either. I know they don't keep them officially, just interested. Anybody know?

August 28, 2010 You ran results of women's 400 free relau twice and left off men's event.

Here it is.

Liquidassets: looks like USS doesn't separate out and/or differentiate between sexes as far as scores go.

You'll have to plot that yourself!
