Avidasports Evaluates Conference Performances

HARPER WOODS, MI - The busiest weekend of the collegiate swimming season was also the fastest. Nearly 500 teams from 300 colleges and universities took part in their respective conference championships. The results of those efforts are on display this week in the latest Avidasports Performance Rankings. The Avidasports Performance Rankings weigh two separate metrics: Performance - as measured by the relative ranking of a team's swims vis-à-vis other collegiate programs, and Improvement - as compared to their previous best times.
