Analysis of Morning Swims

Boise State got a boost when Chelsea Miller, seeded 12th, became the third Bronco to qualify for the 400-IM.  San Diego State got both of their ranked swimmers into the final, so a slight boost depending on how those swimmers swim tonight.


In the 100-yard butterfly, San Diego State's title hopes received a blow when neither of their seeded swimmers (#5 and #8) qualified for tonight's final.  That's a loss of 25 points for the Aztec team, but both will score points in the "B" final tonight.


In the 200-freestyle, the reverse--Emily Irvin, seeded 7th, did not qualify for the final but she is in the "B" final tonight.  Thus, a loss of 6-7 points for the Broncos.


The 100-yard breaststroke went pretty much as planned--three Broncos and one SD State swimmer in the finals.


In the 100 backstroke, Sydney Johansen and Stephanie North, who both swam top-eight times this year, did not enter in the event.  That represents 26 points less for Boise State.


The summary of all this is that the team race between Boise State and San Diego State is now a dead heat.  Projections show a tie between the two teams.
