Feb 7 Colorado Girls HS Swimming and Diving Rankings Posted!

Colorado Girls Swimming and Diving Rankings Posted Here (2-7-2013)

These rankings were derived from the 4A and 5A Psych Sheets.

The meets overall should be very close and exciting this year.  4A looks to have 3 primary title contenders - Evergreen, Thompson Valley, and Cheyenne Mountain.  5A has a return to the top by Fossil Ridge, but Regis now lurks with room to move up in the 200 and 400 Freestyle Relays. Fairview has taken a big hit without the services of Abbie Houck, though she may be on relays.  With 6 teams in 5A within about 60 points, this could make for many lead changes through the meet and hinge greatly on how teams swim in prelims and getting girls into finals rather than consols.  The same will be true in 4A, though not as much...  One thing is for sure - it's going to be close and very exciting!!    

Jan 30 Colorado Girls HS Swimming and Diving Rankings Posted!

Colorado Girls Swimming and Diving Rankings Posted Here (1-30-2013)

These rankings were derived from the MaxPreps Website.

This week sees Thompson Valley get back to the top of the rankings in 4A, while Evergreen slides to 3rd and Cheyenne Mountain moves up to 2nd.  In 5A, the top 3 stayed the same, while 4-9 rankings shuffled a fair amount.  Somewhat surprising, since the week before league championships is usually pretty docile compared to the week that follows and leads to the State Championships.  

Colorado Girls Swimming and Diving Rankings Posted Here (1-15-2013)

These rankings were derived from the MaxPreps Website.

In 4A, A VERY close dual meet between 4A heavyweights Evergreen and Thompson Valley yielded a metric ton of top 20 times and even brought Evergreen to the top of the rankings, in spite of losing the meet to TV by a 96-90 score.  

In 5A, behind the swimming of Missy Franklin showing up in the rankings, Regis has made up considerable ground in the rankings to jump to second, behind a very deep Fairview team, and just in front of last year's champion, Fossil Ridge.  A dual meet between Fossil Ridge and Loveland also added some new times to the list.  

Numerous invitationals were held and provided great opportunities for some major top 20 time improvements, as the state meets are a little over 3 weeks away and things are really getting competitive!

Upcoming meets that will likely have a big influence on the rankings this week:

Regis Vs. Cherry Creek (Jan 15)
ThunderRidge Vs. Rock Canyon (Jan 15)
Pomona Panther Invite (Jan 19)


Next published rankings will be January 22nd!

First 2012-13 Girls State Rankings!!

These rankings were derived from the MaxPreps Website.

In 5A, several obvious questions come up...  Could this be the year that Cherry Creek lands out of the top 2?  What kind of impact will Missy Franklin have in the overall team results?  Will Fairview get to the top of the podium after a strong showing at the Coaches Invitational??

In 4A, it looks like a two-team fight for the title may be in order this year between Thompson Valley and Cheyenne Mountain.  With the top 2 schools possibly taking up a large swath of points, it leaves a great deal of opportunity for smaller schools with one or two fast kids to move up the rankings quickly!


Upcoming meets that will likely have a big influence on the rankings over the next couple of weeks:

Boulder County Invitational (Jan 4)
Delta New Year Opener (Jan 5)
Weidman Invitational (Jan 5)

Valor Invitational (Jan 11/12)
Mustang Invitational (Jan 11/12)
Arapahoe Invitational (Jan 12)
Smoky Hill Invitational (Jan 12)
Hornet Invitational (Jan 12)

Next published rankings will be January 15th!


So it begins - again...


Just a few points of clarity before we get this underway


There are several goals that the compilation of the rankings and this site are meant to achieve:

• To provide a home for the Colorado High School Swimming and Diving top-20 rankings that are derived while the boys or girls are in season. Girls rankings will be posted between late December and early February, while the Boys rankings will be posted between late March and mid May.
• To generate more excitement during the 12 week high school season ultimately culminating at the 4A and 5A Colorado State Championship Swimming and Diving meets.
• To provide recognition for the kids that have all worked very hard to achieve this level of success in the sport without having to be a state champion.
• To provide a one-stop-shop for media outlets to get easy to find, publishable information that hopefully leads to more kids and programs getting more attention that is so richly deserved!
• To provide motivation in knowing where you or your team stands relative to others.
• To provide a possible outcome of the 4A or 5A State Championship Meet if it were to be that day.  Of course, this is only a projection and you still have to perform the meet.  It is not a guarantee of what will happen.  Only one of many possibilities.  

A few additional points of understanding:

• This site is in no way affiliated with the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA).
• This site is in no way affiliated with MaxPreps.com or any other sports website.
• No one is being paid for this information or process.
• The information is pulled directly from MaxPreps.com a few hours before posting, so if there is a data issue, it is likely because there is something wrong there.  Please check on that source first, before approaching this site. While it's not live data, it will be known when the sample was taken.
• The intent of the team rankings is to provide a state meet simulation.  This takes the two highest ranked individual events for an athlete and assigns points to them based upon their projected place.  Adjustments have been made that account for athletes ranked in more than 2 individual events so that the scores are not skewed from one athlete/school.
• The team rankings are not geared for dual meet predictions.  

Final Pre-State Rankings

These rankings were derived from the 5A Psych Sheet and the4A Psych Sheet.


MaxPreps was used to determine diving places/point awards.


Regis looks pretty hard to beat in 5A and close in places 2 through 8, but 4A is wide open!


You can purchase event tickets online at TicketLeap and avoid having to buy them at the event!


Good luck everyone at State and to those that are going on to Olympic Trials this summer!!!
