Virginia came into Day 2 tied with Stanford, each team having won one relay and finished second in another on Wednesday night. The Cavaliers outscored the Cardinal by 47 points on Thursday, adding 151 to their tally to finish alone in first place with 179 points.

Indiana and Stanford made the biggest gains on Thursday, improving 24 and 23 points, respectively, from their seedings. The Hoosiers did better than predicted in the 500 free and 200 free relay; Stanford beat expectations in the 500 free and 200 IM. UVA picked up points in the 500 free and 50 free.

Florida (-29), Texas (-25), Alabama (-15), and Tennessee (-12) were off by double digits, which had an impact on the team standings. The Longhorns were slated to finish Day 2 in second place behind Virginia, but Stanford’s overperformance and their misses (Texas was off by -15 in the 200 IM and by -10 in the relay) and the two teams swapped positions. That said, Texas scored 31 points in diving to Stanford’s zero, and the Longhorns could very well finish the meet in the runner-up position. Florida dropped -19 in the 500 free and -10 in the 200 IM, which moved them from a predicted 6th at then end of Day 2 to a 9th-place finish.
