CSCAA Releases Newest Dual Meet Rankings

PHOENIX, Arizona, January 25. AFTER quite awhile, the first College Swimming Coaches Association of American has finally released the first Division I Dual Meet Poll of 2007. The results have maintained that the Cardinal of Stanford and the Longhorns of Texas are the teams to beat on the women’s and men’s side of Division I swimming and diving, respectively.

Since the last poll, the Stanford women have increased their undefeated record to a mark of 9-0. So far in 2007, they have four dual meet victories against Pac-10 foes; Arizona (#4, 143-94), Arizona State (#24, 170-122), UCLA (#16, 130-105), and USC (#14, 174-111). The team to make the largest positive climb in the women’s rankings is Indiana. The Hoosiers moved to 8th this week after an impressive showing by winning the Michigan Invite and posting a victory over Missouri (#25, 166-121).

The Texas Longhorns were a unanimous selection for top billing by the men’s pollsters for the first time this season. The month of January has seen the Texas team post victories over four teams currently ranked in this latest poll; Auburn (#3, 130-113), Georgia (#9, 161-135), Arizona (#5, 188-165), and SMU (#25, 153, 96). These wins improve the Longhorns record to 7-0 on the season. Like the women, Indiana shows the biggest movement in the men’s poll. The Hoosiers’ had wins against Ohio State (#13, 154-146) and Missouri (153-136) in addition to tying Michigan (#12, 150-150)

The next poll results will be released on February 8, 2007.
