So as things currently sit, based on best times so far this season... bama women predicted to finish 4th, men at 7th. Other schools still have those mid-season meets left, but don't see the ladies dropping below 6/7, guys maybe around 12th or so. We got all of our relays qualified, so we're not stuck hoping we don't DQ at sec's, so that's nice to have checked off. Really happy to see a couple women and men wrap up individual auto qualfying times in a couple events. A great sign of what end of the season may look like. I've taken a step back from the ledge on the new hire

Alabama Swimming and Diving Closes November Strong Following Big Weekend in Knoxville
The Crimson Tide broke six school records and bettered 14 automatic qualifying standards for the 2022 NCAA Championships during the three-day Tennessee Invitational
The Alabama swimming and diving squads closed November with an outstanding showing at last weekend's Tennessee Invitational in Knoxville, Tenn., at the Allan Jones Aquatic Center.
The women's team won 10 events on the weekend, including three relays and seven individual golds, while the men also tallied 10 wins, with three coming in relays and seven standing as individual victories.
The Crimson Tide broke six school records on the weekend, four individual marks and two relay standards, while also putting 31 performances on UA's all-time top-10 lists. Alabama had four student-athletes earn six individual swims at the 2022 NCAA Championships. The Tide also saw the women's team garner automatic cuts in all five relays, while the men punched their tickets in three.
In addition to 14 automatic cuts, the Tide also accumulated 78 NCAA provisional cuts over the weekend and 11 bids to the 2022 NCAA Zone B Diving Championships, the diver's gateway to the NCAA Championships.
It was a strong way to finish the last combined swimming and diving meet of 2021. The Tide swimmers are now gearing up for exams and a pair of training camps over the winter break. The Alabama divers have one more competition, the Auburn Diving Invitational, on Dec. 15-18.

Volleyball’s Lindsey Devine Steps Down as Head Coach
quote:
"We thank Coach Devine for her service to The University of Alabama and our volleyball program," said Alabama Director of Athletics Greg Byrne. "We have accepted her letter of resignation and wish Lindsey nothing but the best in the future."

This will be Alabama Volleyball's third straight coach to resign. Judy Green and Ed Allen both stepped down after being similarly unable to break through.
As Alabama Athletics is experiencing a renaissance in nearly all sports, the Volleyball program has seemed immune as the SEC gets tougher and tougher (headlined with Kentucky winning the conference's first National Title).

It’s a mystery for me - the previous coaches had success elsewhere but burned out here. (Ed Allen had a promising start but bottomed out the last few years). With the resources available, Bama should at least be competitive in the conference (and not 2-16). Not sure what it will take to elevate the program - it will be interesting to see who Byrne brings in this time.
