A big blow to Cal: Matt Josa was disqualified out of prelims of the 200 IM after going a 1:41.50 that would have qualified him 7th for tonight’s final.
Josa was disqualified for multiple dolphin kicks on his breaststroke leg. He was second in his heat, beating teammate Ryan Murphy and chasing NC State’s Andreas Vazaios.
It’s a double-whammy for Cal in team points – Josa’s likely 11-15 points are vacated, plus Texas’s Jonathan Roberts moved up from 9th to 8th due to Josa’s DQ.
One heat later, an official raised an arm signaling a DQ for defending 200 IM champ Will Licon of Texas, but results were made official with no DQs.
Josa’s time of 1:41.50 would have qualified 6th here and put him 15th all-time in the event. As it stands, Cal still has Murphy and Andrew Seliskar in the A final, with the latter seeded 6th going into tonight’s final and the former 7th.
Didn’t he get DQed in the 200 IM at Olympic trials?
Practice makes perfect!
“Josa’s likely 30-some points are vacated”–why? He is not out of the meet, is he?
Yeah that was weird. The highest one person can score is 20 points on an individual event
Yep, you’re right! That’s what I get for doing the relay DQ analysis coverage at the same time as this story. The story is updated now
Only had Josa on 100 fly for a reason
So it probably would have taken 1:41 to make the A final had Josa not been disqualified. I think he could have gone 1:41 on his own. It’s great for Texas, sucks for Cal. Murphy sort of cut it close there, Licon took no chances.
Josa would have been 7th not 6th
LOL. They get him on multiple dolphins in an IM but can’t seem to make the same call on Cody Miller even in a 200 breast where there are 6 more turns of breast pullouts
Curious, what is the NCAA meet protocol for appealing a DQ, going to video review?
In this case, any video might as well be a Flintstones cartoon. The only use of video in NCAA swimming is to review early takeoffs on relays and then only to overrule a possible error in the electronics and the video must be the official one setup for just that purpose.
