A day after releasing the pre-selection entry lists, the NCAA announced on Wednesday the names of the swimmers that have been invited to compete at the 2022 NCAA Division III Women’s and Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships, which will take place from March 16-19 in Indianapolis.

For its first championship meet since 2019, the NCAA extended invitations to 236 male swimmers from 45 schools and 290 women swimmers from 55 schools. It will add another 24 men and 29 women after the diving qualification rounds to reach the 579 total number of participants allowed.

Swimmers may be entered in a maximum of eight events, five relays and three individual events; however, they are only permitted to compete in a maximum of seven events, of which not more than three may be individual events.

Swimmers who are selected for at least one event may enter additional “optional entry” events. Relay-only swimmers may swim in a maximum of three “optional entry” individual events for which the swimmer has achieved a “B” time. However, each school is limited to a roster of 18 student-athletes.

The 2022 cut lines for the women’s meet were around line 27 for individual events and 20 for relays. In the men’s meet, it was around line 17 or 18 for individual events and 16 for relays. At the last NCAA championships, in 2019, the women’s cut line was 19 for individual and 18 for relay events; the men were mostly at 16 and 15.

In the women’s meet, Denison and ten-time defending champion, Emory, each qualified a full roster of 18 swimmers. University of Chicago and NYU both earned 16 swimming berths, while Johns Hopkins and Kenyon scored 15 apiece. Other schools who will make their presence felt will be Pomona-Pitzer (12), Tufts (12), Williams (12), Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (11), and Bates (11).

The men’s selection included 18-swimmer contingents from Johns Hopkins and Emory. Defending champion Denison (15), Williams (14), Kenyon (13), Chicago (10), and WashU (10) will also have strong rosters in Indy.

The psych sheets, as well as the list of swim alternates, are listed below.

Wave 1.5 Qualifier

The 2022 cut lines for the women’s meet were around line 27 for individual events and 20 for relays. In the men’s meet, it was around line 17 or 18 for individual events and 16 for relays. At the last NCAA championships, in 2019, the women’s cut line was 19 for individual and 18 for relay events; the men were mostly at 16 and 15.”

Very interesting data point. So what this means is… unless the NCAA massively increased the number of athletes invited (doubt it), we are just seeing more individual swimmers posting strong times in 3 events and not just one-hit wonders? Especially for the women; kind of a neat surprise for the women seeded in the mid… Read more »

As a coach of two such ladies, (one of whom had to un-retire) we were ecstatic to see the cut line at 27. Props to the multi-invite swimmers!

According to world population studies, approximately 108 billion people have lived on this planet. Assuming that the average lifespan of all these people was 25, there has been around 2.7 trillion years of life, if we multiply this by the number of days in a year (365), there is a total of 985,500,000,000,000 days of life (985.5 trillion days). Not once in any of those days did anybody ask.

“Coach” who remained completely anonymous was simply excited for their own swimmers and congratulating the swimmers who were invited in multiple events. What’s your issue with that N. Sheldon?

Johns Hopkins 335
Kenyon 315.5
MIT 314.5
Williams 310
Denison 306

Women’s side:
Kenyon 404

Probably the most wide-open NCAA meet ever. Really just comes down to who shows up.

Really appreciate the pre-score! Like you said, it’s all about who shows up. There is so much coaching strategy involved here.

“Who’s joe?” a distant voice asks.

Instantly everyone nearby hears the sound of 1,000s of bricks rapidly shuffling towards his location.

The earth itself seemed to cry out in agony, until finally the ground itself split open and a horrific creature crawled from the ground, covered in mucus and tar.

”Joe Momma…” the creature whispered.

The man cried out in pain as he disintegrated into dust, and the whole world fell silent in fear.

“I did a little trolling.” the wretched creature remarked before burrowing back into the earth.

Slight typo there will be 29 female and 24 male divers qualifying for NCAAs, not 29 and 18. Thanks for all your coverage of D3 including the big conference meets!
