Findlay #19 in Latest CSCAA National Poll
Findlay, Ohio- The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) released the December Edition of the 2022-23 Division II Swimming & Diving Top 25 Dual Meet Rankings. The committee, comprised of Division II coaches and select media, ranks the top 25 teams in the nation based on dual meet strength. The committee uses head-to-head results as the top consideration. Common opponents and simulations are also considered when establishing monthly rankings. This poll does not predict top finishers in a championship meet format. The Oilers who were ranked 23rd in the previous poll, are ranked 19th- the highest ranking the program has seen since 2019.
For the women, the Colorado Mesa Mavericks (298 points) made a massive leap from sixth to first by earning ten first-place votes while the Indianapolis Greyhounds (290) dropped to #2 with two first-place votes. Nova Southeastern (275), Tampa (264) and Drury (253) round out the top 5. Of the top 25 teams, twenty-three teams appeared on all ballots with twenty-eight women's teams receiving at least one vote. Similar to the men, this month's rankings saw four previously unranked teams jump into the Top 25, highlighted by Simon Fraser (124) at the #14 position.
