WOMEN


Some notes on our picks: Erin Finn, Lauren LaRocco, Courtney Smith, Brenna Peloquin, Anna Rohrer, Arkansas, NC State, Providence, New Mexico were the only individuals and teams to get the unanimous endorsement of FloTrack staff. But our opinions were all pretty similar. In every conference, we picked no more than two different teams or individuals to win.

Note: After publication, Stanford confirmed that Elise Cranny was not competing at Pac-12s, with the aim of returning for the NCAA meet.
