The Cardinals have become one of the most consistent teams this decade. Louisville put three swimmers on the United States <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/usa-swimming-finalizes-46-strong-roster-for-2019-world-cha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">World Championships team<\/a> that will compete in Gwangju in a couple weeks.\u00a0<strong>Kelsi Dahlia<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Mallory Comerford\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Zach Harting\u00a0<\/strong>have helped build Louisville to become one of the best and most consistent swimming and diving teams in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Dahlia helped build Louisville into a consistent top ten team on the women&#8217;s side when she helped the Cardinals place sixth in 2015 and eighth in 2016 at NCAAs. Comerford and Harting built on that momentum as the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s teams placed in the top five for the first time in the same season. The women finished in fourth while the men were fifth as it was the highest either program had ever placed.<\/p>\n<p>Dahlia was also able to help Comerford in her senior year while Comerford was a freshmen. The two have really fed off each other and it led to Comerford getting on the 2017 World Championships team as well four NCAA titles in her career.<\/p>\n<p>The Louisville swimming and diving program has been on the rise the last few years and have not shown signs of slowing down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Previous Ross Report episodes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>#1:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ross-report-episode-1-kaersten-meitz-never-thought-she-would-make-it-to-this-point\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kaersten Meitz<\/a><\/li>\n<li>#2:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ross-report-episode-2-zane-grothe-found-the-right-fit-for-himself-in-bloomington-indiana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zane Grothe<\/a><\/li>\n<li>#3:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ross-report-episode-3-division-ii-indianapolis-greyhounds-having-a-dream-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Division II Indianapolis<\/a><\/li>\n<li>#4:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ross-report-episode-4-robert-howard-staying-relaxed-having-fun-in-last-year-at-alabama\/\">Robert Howard<\/a><\/li>\n<li>#5:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ross-report-episode-5-georgia-tech-team-chemistry-translating-to-strong-performances-in-pool\/\">Georgia Tech<\/a><\/li>\n<li>#6:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ross-report-episode-6-division-iii-williams-on-what-makes-the-team-and-nescac-so-special\/\">Division III Williams<\/a><\/li>\n<li>#7:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ross-report-episode-7-the-friendship-between-caeleb-dressel-jan-switkowski-and-mark-szaranek\/\">Caeleb Dressel, Jan Switkowski &amp; Mark Szaranek<\/a><\/li>\n<li>#8:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ross-report-episode-8-federica-pellegrini-insists-tokyo-olympics-will-be-her-last\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Federica Pellegrini<\/a><\/li>\n<li>#9:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ross-report-episode-9-nova-southeastern-gearing-up-for-division-ii-ncaas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nova Southeastern<\/a><\/li>\n<li>#10: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ross-report-josh-zuchowski-taking-down-nag-records-from-aaron-peirsol-and-michael-andrew\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Josh Zuchowski<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swimming World presents the video series, the Ross Report.
