While the live results page didn't have splits, reaction times, or A/B times, the results pages from the championship site does. In the 400 Medley Relay, Sam Perry swam a 41.32 for the 100 Free. (Cameron Craig of ASU swam a 41.14 on the 400 MR and a 41.45 on the 400 FR. Those were the only relay splits below 42.0, but ASU's Bohus swam a 42.13 to lead off their relay. Cameron won the 100 Free in 41.95 while Perry had a 42.24 in the morning.)
It turns out that my score estimate was incorrect because I included two of those exhibition swimmers (that DenverCard explained) for Cal, one of whose seed time was 2nd in the 1650 (but he swam a full minute slower). Stanford improved their score on the last day by 5 points (after correction), while Cal gained 1 point (after correcting for my error including the exhibition swimmers). Cal dropped 8 points on that final relay from their seed, while Stanford dropped 2.
By the way, can any one explain the "PC" in the list of team names:
Arizona State University-AZ
University of Southern Calif-CA
Univ of California, Berkeley-PC
Stanford University-PC
Arizona, University of-AZ
Utah, University of-UT
My swimming days date back to the late 60s (not at Stanford). It is amazing to me how many swimmers swim so fast. Impressive. Few names of the 68 Olympics remain famous, except Debbie Meyer. I looked for Stanford swimmers from that era -- Stanford won the NCAA Men's championship in 1967. Greg Buckingham won the NCAA 400IM & 500 Free in 1967 (you've probably heard of his younger brother) while Dick Roth won the 200IM. The 500 Free winning time was 4:37.16. This year's Greg Shoults (4:10) would have lapped him. (Katie L's 500 Free 4:25.19 is only 0.20 short of a B time for NCAA Men.) The 1967 200yd Free NCAA winning time would not be an A standard time in either the 200 yd Back or Fly now.
