SOMERS, Wis. -- The Navy men's and women's swimming teams were both ranked first in the country according to the latest CollegeSwimming.com Mid-Major Dual Meet Rankings.

The mid-major rankings compare institutions that do not benefit from large football and basketball television agreements (BCS conferences plus Mountain West and Western Athletic Conference). 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, with this ranking taking into account all results through the end of the first semester.

The Navy men's team totaled 188.34 points to lead all teams in the ranking, with Princeton ranking second (182.74) and Eastern Michigan third (181.27).

In the women's ranking, Navy's 179.02 points narrowly allowed the Mids to outdistance second-place Harvard's score of 176.69 and third-place Miami of Ohio's tally of 175.61.

Both Navy squads will be in action this weekend when the Mids face Yale and Cornell in a double dual meet Saturday in New Haven, Conn. The Navy men enter the meet with an 11-1 record on the year, while the Navy women are 10-0.
