Final Boys Swimming & Diving Rankings: Charlotte Latin leads the statewide top 25

For the second year in a row, Charlotte Latin is the No. 1 team in the final HighSchoolOT boys swimming & diving rankings. The Hawks were N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association D1 champions.
The rankings are based on performances in either the N.C. High School Athletic Association or N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association championships. HSOT uses championship times across all classifications and associations and combines them into one big state meet to calculate the final rankings.
In some events, there were ties across different classifications. In order to determine the points, the tiebreaker was podium placement (a 1A champ got the spot over a second-place 4A athlete in the same event). If the athletes were still tied, they split the points.
For the final rankings, if two teams were tied for a top-25 spot, the tiebreaker was whichever team had the higher finish at their respective state championship.
