Girls Update

Just this past week previously un-ranked Padua pulled off an upset over #2 Tatnall. Padua remains undefeated, but still has to face St. Mark's and Charter. My thought is that Padua won the meet with help from having a larger team than Tatnall, which I assume cannot fill all of the lanes in every event in a 6-lane pool. Those 3rd, 4th, and 5th place finishes mean so much in high school swimming. But don't write Tatnall off just yet. The state meet means an entirely different scoring system, and with Tatnall looking to put swimmers in the top few spots in some events, they will still be a threat to second, and even first place.
The next rankings should show Charter staying in first, with a commanding win over St. Mark's, Brandywine maybe will move to 2nd, possibly a 3rd place for Padua, Tatnall in 4th, St. Mark's in 5th, but it could go any way with those teams, we'll see how it plays out.
