The 2024 British Universities & Colleges (BUCS) Short Course Championships begin on Friday, November 15th 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.
Several Olympians are sprinkled throughout the entries including Freya Colbert, the reigning world champion in the women’s 400m IM.
Max Litchfield, the Brit who painstakingly has finished 4th in the men’s 400m IM at 3 consecutive Games, is also set to represent Loughborough.
Men’s 800m free Olympic champion and 1500m free bronze medalist in Paris Daniel Wiffen will be the man to beat in the distance freestyle events.
Others to watch include rapidly-improving backstroker Oliver Morgan of Birmingham and breaststroking ace Angharad Evans of Stirling.
