The 2023 British Universities & Colleges (BUCS) Short Course Championships begin on Friday, November 17th with the 3-day competition taking place at Ponds Forge.
Swimmers will be vying for individual titles but primarily for team points in their quest to come away with the men’s, women’s and overall team trophies.
As a refresher, BUCS points are awarded to the top 4 swimmers/teams; however, only the top 2 swimmers from each institution, or 1 team per institution for relay events, are eligible for BUCS points. If there are not enough eligible swimmers/teams in the top 4 to earn points, then the remaining points will be awarded to the next-best eligible swimmers/teams based on the rest finals or heats results.
A strong showing of swimmers just named to the British roster for next month’s European Short Course Championships are expected to be sprinkled within the pack diving in at Sheffield. Among them are the following:
- Bath – Cam Brooker
- Birmingham – Oliver Morgan
- Edinburgh – Archie Goodburn, Kara Hanlon
- Loughborough – Greg Butler, Freya Colbert, Lauren Cox, Laura Stephens
Irish World Championships finalist Daniel Wiffen and twin brother Nathan Wiffen are also entered in these Championships, along with Austria’s Felix Auboeck.
Not be too confident in Stirling for 2nd!!! Edinburgh are back from altitude and Mat’s squad were great in Aberdeen.
You have missed Alex Cahoon from Loughborough, also some Sterling swimmers.
Meet will be predictable as always-
1. Loughborough
2. Stirling
3. Bath, Swansea or Edinburgh
Why doesn’t the NCAA also include para heats and swimmers in their championships meets?
