It
was a tremendous season this past year for the Girls Southwest Swim
& Dive Team.
This week the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association
released its national Power Point Team rankings. The National
Dual Meet Team Ranking Program uses a system called power points. This point system allows for
comparison of the quality of performances across strokes, distances and events.
So how exactly does the power
point system work? The power point scale ranges from 1 to 1100 points. It ranks
each swim, for example a 50 Freestyle with a time of 30.99 may have a point
total of 40 points whereas a 50 free with a time of 25.99 may have a point
total of 75.
The faster the time -the higher the points, and the stronger you
are as a team. We put forward our best dual meet line up using the best times
we had from the season.
This year the program had 376 teams
submitting entries. The
entries were then divided into gender, school type (public or private), and
then school size. Our girls finished 10th overall in class 7.
The results will be posted on
the NISCA site within the next month, or so, and will appear in the fall issue
of the NISCA journal, and they are now official.
This was a
wonderful accomplishment for the girls and I commend all their hard work and
efforts. I look forward to this upcoming season and I wish all graduating
seniors luck on their future endeavors.
Chris Aarseth, Swim Coach
