Second was NYU at 353 points, then the University of Chicago at 343. Traditional powers Emory and Kenyon round out the top five. That quintet comprised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ncaa-division-iii-championships-day-4-finals-denison-repeats-as-mens-champions-nyu-women-finish-off-dominant-meet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the top five at NCAAs last spring<\/a>, the only change being a flip between the latter two.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/ncaa-division-iii-coverage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCAA Division III Swimming Coverage<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>MIT was voted sixth, followed by Carnegie Mellon, Williams, Tufts and Pomona-Pitzer. MIT was just 14th last year at NCAAs. Tufts was 25th, Pomona-Pitzer 16th. Bates, which finished sixth at NCAAs last year, is tipped to drop this season, finishing 22nd in the first poll.<\/p>\n<p>On the women\u2019s side, NYU\u2019s first national title last year was the culmination of a multi-year climb. The voters think that the Violets\u2019 era is not at its end, giving them 343 points in the first poll. Kenyon is second at 333, just two up on Emory. Dennison is fourth, Williams fifth. MIT, Chicago, Pomona-Pitzer, Tufts and Swarthmore round out the top 10.<\/p>\n<p>Emory was the national runner-up last year, with Kenyon third. The next five teams follow in order. Tufts was 12th last year, Swarthmore 11th.<\/p>\n<p>The rankings are voted on by committees of Division III coaches representing a cross-section of programs and conferences throughout the country. Poll committee members evaluate teams based on head-to-head performances, nationally ranked performances, significant performances achieved since the previous poll, results from invitational and championship-style competition, and the quality and depth of performances across events.<\/p>\n<h3>CSCAA Division III Men\u2019s Poll<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rank Team, Points<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>1.
