ORONO, Maine -- In the most recent Avidasports Performance Rankings, the University of Maine men's swimming and diving team has been ranked sixth in Division I in terms of overall improvement. The rankings are determined by looking at comparisons of overall scores, rankings between programs and finishing times. The Black Bears 99.3% improvement rating placed them sixth overall in the rankings.
The Avidasports Performance Index rates teams on two equally-weighted metrics - a team's rate of improvement over their season-best times and their overall ranking among other NCAA programs. The past weekend was the most significant of the 2010-11 collegiate season. Over 36,000 races were swum across slightly more than 100 collegiate meets. Of those swims, a remarkable 341 of 551 teams exceeded their season best times.
