Why is there a list for the 18 & U?

it would be interesting to see the breakdown by state and how many athletes are from each, which state is best in what event etc.

Pkok – that would be interesting, but nearly an impossible chore. We could, however, probably look into a breakdown by LSC. If LSC borders fell along state borders, we could do by state, but many LSCs overlap multiple states.

By LSC would be awesome.

and the event with the fewest 18 and under boys is the 100 free, looks like the lack of sprinters frequently discussed here is not going to be fixed anytime soon

I think it would be cool is there was a list of 35+ qualifiers in addition to 18&U

I agree. Because that’s a different level of bad-ass.
