In the grand scheme of college swimming and compared to all other college programs, top 12 NCAA programs would pretty much all grade well across the board. Since we only profile the top 12 teams in this format, our grades are designed with that range in mind. The “stars” will rely heavily on what swimmers actually did last year, but we’ll also give credit to returning swimmers or freshmen who have times that would have scored last year. We liked the objectiveness of that stat, but given that there’s still a lot of uncertainty for this year, we’re adopting a hybrid approach this year. Two years ago, we unveiled a new, more data-based grading criteria based on ‘projected returning points’, a stat of our own making that involved a lot of manual calculations involving departing seniors, redshirts, freshmen, etc. Returning Fifth Years: Tommy Hallock, Sam Tornqvist GRADING CRITERIA Key Additions: Luis Dominguez (Spain – free/IM), Ben Eckerson (NJ – back/free), Luan Grobbelaar (New Zealand – breast/IM), Joseph Hong (PA – breast), Hayden Jay (OH – free), Nikolas Lee-Bishop (VA – sprint free), Jacob Ryan (MI – free/breast), Gabriel Yuk (Hong Kong – fly/back)

Key Losses: Lane Stone (6 NCAA points – 2019)
