I’m not adjusting for too many events and I’m guessing about the diving. With quality swimming and some sensible strategy (or maybe strategery), though: W&J wins 4 (1000, 2back, 500, 2IM) plus both divings, Behrend wins 8 (200, 1back, 1 breast, 2fly, 50, 100, 2breast, 1fly) plus both relays. I suspect it will be a little closer than that in the actual meet, but I think Behrend has a legitimate shot at winning this thing.

So back to the poll question…………
