Thanks for providing that. When you posted the Psych Sheet, I pulled some of that. I didn't include their Yr. I thought about it once I was just about done, but too lazy to go back. I also don't have the visibility for Relays.
I also wanted to get more info on Henshcel and platform results.
Here is what I had pulled together. I also figured you would post it, so I waited.
--------------------------------------------
2017Last year we finished 16th with 87 Points. From the looks, we had 4 Swimmers qualify on Individual events. And we had 2 Divers
Relays Only: Ayar, Gonzalez, Koster, Tjon-A-Joe
Bolleter: 50/100 Fr
Bonetti: 100/200 Bk - 5 pts
Castillo Luna: 100/200 Br - 23 pts
Tybur: 100/200 Br - 1 pt
Henschel: 1M/3M/Platform - 28 pts
Thornton: 1M/3M - 6 pts
This year, we have the following qualified, plus the 3 Divers:
2018 (Seed)Bonetti: (9th) 200IM; (23) 100 Bk; (17th) 200Fly
Castillo Luna: (18th) 100Fly; (10th) 100Br; (5th) 200Br
Martinez: (19th) 100Fly; (16th) 200Fly
Olson: (18th) 200Br
Tybur: (12th) 200Br
Van Overdam: (19th) 200IM; (26th) 400IM; (27th) 200Br
Walker: (22nd) 200Br

Based on seeding and Dive qualifiers... it would seem a Top 10 is likely? If things fall our way, maybe even a Top5? Or is that too ambitious? I didn't want to be too presumptuous because timing sports like swimming, there are so many close times, but this team looks amazing.
Another question I have, as I'm not as collegiate swimming knowledgeable... It would seem to me a school like the Sips have an advantage at the NCAA Championships. Because the BXII only has 3 teams (Sips, TCU & WV), the Sips can really rely on tappering and focusing on the NCAAs, where as they are 3 deep in many relays over WV. Probably 4 deep against TCU.
