Texas had a tough meet against Georgia recently, winning by just 16 points.

Though the poll doesn\u2019t work to predict the rankings at the NCAA championships, it does give an indication of the way some of the teams are preparing. It should be noted that Michigan was ranked number one in the final poll of the 2013-2014 season, but placed fourth at the NCAA championships.<\/p>\n<h2>The Week That Was #2: Stanford\u2019s Maddy Schaefer off team roster<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_105825\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/maddy-schaefer-summer-nationals-2014-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-105825\" data-attachment-id=\"105825\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/college-swimming-drug-tests-top-talk-week\/maddy-schaefer-summer-nationals-2014-copy\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/maddy-schaefer-summer-nationals-2014-copy.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Griffin Scott&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS REBEL T5i&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1407613055&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;154&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;6400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.001&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"maddy-schaefer-summer-nationals-2014 copy\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Griffin Scott&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/maddy-schaefer-summer-nationals-2014-copy-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/maddy-schaefer-summer-nationals-2014-copy-1024x682.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/maddy-schaefer-summer-nationals-2014-copy-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy: Griffin Scott\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-105825\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-105825\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Griffin Scott<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nAs we enter the one-month countdown to the start of the conference championship phase of the American collegiate season, dual meets performances are starting to heat up. Teams are prepping to get more athletes qualified for the NCAA championships in an effort to win a team title or score a precious top-ten finish. Stanford\u2019s women\u2019s team will have a bit of a struggle in their attempt to get to the top of the podium in March, as it was revealed to Swimming World that <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/maddy-schaefer-stanford-american-longer-team\/ target=_blank>Maddy Schaefer is no longer on the team<\/a>. That puts a strain on Stanford\u2019s freestyle relays, as Schaefer was a key component there, as well as individually in the 50 and 100 freestyles. Stanford is still in good shape in those relays, but will have to look a bit deeper into its roster to find a replacement for Schaefer. Stanford\u2019s head coach Greg Meehan did not give a reason for Schaefer\u2019s departure, and we have not yet heard from Schaefer regarding her exit from the team. Schaefer had swum well in November, posting the fifth-fastest time in the nation in the 50 free and also being a part of Stanford\u2019s top-ranked 200 free relay and 400 free relay.<\/p>\n<h2>The Week That Was #1: Two more positive drug tests, from Tae Hwan Park and Joao Gomes<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_107797\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/tae-hwan-park-pan-pacs-20141.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107797\" data-attachment-id=\"107797\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/5-men-to-watch-at-the-asian-games\/tae-hwan-park-pan-pacs-2014-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/tae-hwan-park-pan-pacs-20141.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Delly Carr&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D4&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1408828704&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;600&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;6400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"tae-hwan-park-pan-pacs-2014\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Delly Carr&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/tae-hwan-park-pan-pacs-20141-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/tae-hwan-park-pan-pacs-20141-1024x682.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/tae-hwan-park-pan-pacs-20141-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy: Delly Carr\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-107797\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-107797\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Delly Carr<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nTwo more shocking announcements regarding positive drug tests came to light in the past week, including one Olympic champion and another case involving a Brazilian swimmer. Tae Hwan Park of Korea <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympic-champion-tae-hwan-park-fails-doping-test\/ target=_blank>failed a drug test<\/a> that came from an injection he received last summer before the Asian Games. Apparently, a chiropractor gave him a shot that the doctor assured Park did not contain any illegal substances. But that turned out to be false, though no reports on the type of illegal substance has not come to light. There\u2019s been no news regarding any punishment for Park\u2019s positive drug test, and if it will affect his results from the Asian Games. Park and his management company are preparing to sue the doctor and clinic for the injection and subsequent positive drug test, and are likely to face FINA and the World Anti-Doping Agency very soon. This news is going public right at the end of Park\u2019s trip to the United States to test his mettle against the elite squad at SwimMAC Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>Also in drug-related news, <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/joao-gomes-jr-3-time-world-champion-tests-positive-diuretic\/ target=_blank>Joao Gomes of Brazil tested positive for a diuretic at the short course world championships<\/a> last month. Gomes helped Brazil qualify for the finals in the three medley relay events in Doha, swimming only in prelims. But he did make the championship final for the 50 breaststroke, placing eighth. The issue at hand is whether Brazil\u2019s gold medals in the men\u2019s 200 medley relay and 400 medley relay, as well as the gold in the mixed 200 medley relay, will be stripped if Gomes\u2019 performances in Doha are deemed invalid due to the drug test. His prelim swims would be removed and Brazil disqualified officially in prelims. That would move France to first in the men\u2019s 200 medley relay, the United States to gold in the 400 medley relay and Great Britain to gold in the mixed 200 medley relay. This is a big black eye for Brazil, which has had a positive drug test in swimming every year for nearly six years. Not a good thing as they prepare to host the 2016 Olympics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TUCSON \u2013 College swimming, in the United States and Canada, took a lot of the
