Even if a video review quickly restored order for the Stanford Cardinal.<\/p>\n<p>When the third heat of the 200 free relay went into review, Stanford fans understandably had a sense of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. Last season, the Cardinal won the 200 free relay before getting disqualified for a false start.<\/p>\n<p>But it was North Carolina, not Stanford, who got the axe this time. The blow is a major one for the Tar Heels, who would have made the A-final, but\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/stanford-breaks-american-record-in-200-free-relay\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stanford&#8217;s new American and NCAA record is official<\/a>, and the team avoids a major blow and a potential swing of almost 50 points.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not to say Stanford, heavily favored to win a team championship, had a perfect morning. <strong>Katie Drabot<\/strong> dropped out of the scoring in a deep field in the 500 free, and <strong>Allie Szekely<\/strong> had a disappointing swim in the 200 IM.<\/p>\n<p>As for Stanford\u2019s cross-bay rival and the No. 2 team in the country, Cal had a relatively quiet morning\u2026 until the 50 free. The 200 free relay qualified second, <strong>Kathleen Baker<\/strong> qualified for the final of the 200 IM, and then the Bears put three into the 50 free A-final.<\/p>\n<p>It was no surprise to see either <strong>Abbey Weitzeil<\/strong> or <strong>Farida Osman<\/strong> among the top eight seeds for the final, but <strong>Maddie Murphy<\/strong> posted a strong 21.84 to sneak into the final by one one-hundredth of a second.<\/p>\n<p>As it turned out, the results from the prelims session left both Stanford and Cal in a position to underperform by a small margin\u00a0in finals. Both teams will have a chance to bounce back a bit, however, in the 200 IM final, as <strong>Ella Eastin<\/strong> and Baker are seeded fourth and fifth, respectively. Stanford also swam the 400 medley relay without 100 back American record-holder\u00a0<strong>Ally Howe<\/strong> and should make a jump from its fifth seed coming out of prelims.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a full list of how teams\u2019 prelims performances compare to their initial psych sheet projections and how teams would stack up if all seeds hold from this point on, courtesy of\u00a0<strong>Price

Texas A&amp;M and Louisville, as each will improve more than 40 points if seeds hold in finals. Just behind in the improvement category is Georgia, which now projects to finish third.<\/p>\n<p>Texas A&amp;M put two individual swimmers into each final, the A and the B, and while the first of the three days of individual events is the Aggies\u2019 weakest, <strong>Sydney Pickrem<\/strong> and <strong>Bethany Galat<\/strong> will have among the strongest breaststroke legs in the 200 IM.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the session, it was perhaps surprising to see Texas A&amp;M and Louisville qualify second and third, respectively,\u00a0in the 400 medley relay, but A&amp;M\u2019s foursome has no glaring weakness with <strong>Lisa<\/strong> <strong>Bratton<\/strong>, <strong>Jorie<\/strong> <strong>Caneta<\/strong>, <strong>Sarah Gibson<\/strong> and <strong>Beryl<\/strong> <strong>Gastadello<\/strong>, and Louisville has two major strengths and a good enough fly leg to compensate for the loss of <strong>Kelsi<\/strong> <strong>Worrell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>And believe it or not, it might end up being breaststroker <strong>Andrea Cottrell<\/strong> whose loss hurts the most next season, as Cottrell split 58.38 in prelims, the third-best split in the field behind <strong>Lilly King<\/strong> and <strong>Laura Simon<\/strong>. Anchoring the Cardinals was <strong>Mallory<\/strong> <strong>Comerford<\/strong>, who split 46.18, again the fastest split in the field. She also had the fastest splits on the 800 free relay (1:40.21) and in the prelims of the 200 free relay (21.27).<\/p>\n<p>The Georgia Bulldogs, perhaps ironically considering their history, will be earning all of their individual points in the 50 free, where <strong>Olivia Smoliga<\/strong> and <strong>Chantal Van Landeghem<\/strong> made the A-final. On the other hand of the distance spectrum was Michigan, which put two up in the 500 free with G Ryan and Rose Bi.<\/p>\n<p>The only other team with two A-finalists was NC State, with Hannah Moore making the final of the 500 free and <strong>Alexia Zevnik<\/strong> doing the same in the 200 IM, but not scoring anybody in the 50 free will hurt for a team projected to finish the day with 80 points, the third-most of any team.<\/p>\n<p>As for the remainder of the team competition, check out today\u2019s ups and downs.
