If NCAA records can’t be set in time trials, then relays with open lanes next to them (like we’ve had the past two years at some conferences) shouldn’t be allowed to count either.
Kate Douglass has entered in six individual events:
W 50 FR
W 100 FR
W 100 BR
W 200 BR
W 100 FL
W 200 IM
That’s one busy woman.
She probably will scratch the 100b. Maybe even the 100 free.
Hope she does 3 in the ACC Champs and then a different 3 in the NCAA meet so we can see rested time performances in all 6!
She will not have much rest for ACCs, but I generally agree with you.
Anyone know if conferences will stay with the “Covid protocol” lane separation for relays and just go 4 teams per heat? Certainly helps everyone get faster times by cutting down the wave wash action.
SEC will not.
Haven’t heard specifically about other conferences, but I suspect most will not.
From the recent NCAA Pre-Championships Rules Review E-Mail….
COVID-19 Waivers for 2022-2023 Season:
There are no COVID-19 Waivers approved for the 2022-2023 season.
Note: (Rule 5-7) When seeding the swimmers, intentionally leaving empty lanes between them is not permitted.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Is there a standard (or common) limit to the number of events a swimmer can be entered in on the pre-scratch psych sheets? I know they are usually limited to three individual events in the meet but are often in more than that on the psych sheet.
There is not. It’s one of my great frustrations in trying to present the sport to a viewing audience.
Thanks! Are there no limits at all? Different limits in different conferences?
Standard limits – 7 total events, no more than 3 individual events. Most usually this results in no more than 4 relays and 3 individuals per swimmer, though 5/2 is possible (but rare). And most swimmers don’t swim 4+ relays.
Same limits at NCAAs for D1/D3. D2 is a little different.
Sorry, I didn’t word my question clearly enough (though I did learn something in your response anyway). I was wondering if there were any limits at all on the number or events that a swimmer could be listed for on the preliminary psych sheet? Or, to take it to the extreme, could the coach just list everyone on their roster in every event?
Ah. Yeah no obvious limits. I’m not sure if there’s some kind of handshake thing, but doesn’t seem to be real limits.
Some conferences don’t allow over-entry.
Thanks!
Cincinnati and SMU need a different conference
Cincinnati will be in BigXII next year, I’ve recently been seeing rumors of SMU talking to PAC 12…
Will the swimswam podcast do another ncaa prediction video?
Oh my!
A tasty matchup, Douglass vs Walsh in the W 200 IM!
And they’re both in back-to-back events. I would give Douglass the edge in the IM since that’s her first and A Walsh has the 500 right before that.
Oh wait, how many are they actually allowed to swim? They’re entered in basically everything!
I give Douglass the edge because she took care of Walsh at SCM worlds not too long ago. But never count a Walsh out.
