NISCA Releases 2023-2024 National Dual Meet Team Rankings

By Jordan Agliano on SwimSwam

The National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association (NISCA) has released its annual National Dual Meet Rankings for the 2023-2024 season.

A point system determines the rankings. Coaches are allowed to enter their best dual meet line-up using times from any official high school meet.  Each time is given a point value based on the official NISCA PowerPoint Tables. The tables are designed to standardize the quality of swimming times across different events and between boys and girls.

Only grades 9-12 are eligible-the same standard as for All American. Enrollment is based on the total school enrollment (boys and girls) of all grades eligible to swim on the high school team.
