Valor Christian coach Rob Nasser produces swimming rankings for the state each week. Individual rankings are a compilation of the state’s best times as reported to Nasser. (State meet qualifying times are in parentheses.) Team rankings are based on those individual times, and amount to a hypothetical state meet.

For more information, including top-20 rankings, visit .

There wasn’t any movement among the top 10 in either the 4A or 5A team rankings, though both top teams — Cherry Creek and Thompson Valley — were reeled in slightly by the field.

Creek saw its lead shrink from 18 points over No. 2 Regis Jesuit to 12, while Thompson Valley went from 360 total points to 354.
