LAWRENCEVILLE—Both the Rider University men’s and women’s swimming and diving team are ranked in the Division I national 'mid-major' team power rankings as compiled by collegeswimming.com and are the only Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference school currently ranked in the top 25.

The men’s team is currently 19^th with 168.35 points and the women’s team is currently 20^th with 172.13.

Released four times a year, the rankings are compiled using results from each dual meet that the teams compete in during the season.  The next poll is scheduled for release on February 6.

CollegeSwimming.com produces a Power Ranking for Mid-Major Division I institutions.  The mid-major rankings were designed to support and promote institutions that do not benefit from large football and basketball television agreements.   Rankings are based on each team’s best dual meet lineup as judged and submitted by participating teams. Rankings are announced four times throughout the season and entries are due on November 14 (Pre-Invite), December 20 (Post-Invite), February 6 (Pre-Conference), and March 6 (post-conference).

Harvard University currently leads both the men's and women's rankings
