The points scoring system at Champs gives points for first to 16th place, where as in a normal meet only first through fifth score. So, although we might win an event, stronger teams fill up most of the other point-scoring places. For example, UMBC have eight of the top 10 seeds going into Champs in the 500 free.

Jefferson's religion has been a question mark for some time, but a descendant of his who did thorough research came to the conclusion that Jefferson was a conservative Unitarian. That's accurate. In church attendance, Jefferson probably led the pack. He liked church going and he liked to listen to speeches, he really was a devout man.
