NCAA Releases Official Men’s NCAA Psych Sheets

The NCAA has released its official psych sheets for the men’s NCAA Championships, including the cut lines for each event. You can see the full cut psych sheets here.

The cutline fell exactly where we projected it to go, with all of line 28 making the show along with a handful of swimmers in line 29. The alternates are as predicted, led by Grand Canyon duo Daniil Antipov (200 fly) and Youssef El-Kamash (100 breast).

A refresher on how that process works: The NCAA will go through, event by event, and add one swimmer to each, until a certain “line” (aka, all 30th-ranked swimmers) puts the field over the maximum 235 individual entries (270 total minus 35 places for divers). At that point, swimmers will be invited based on who is the closest to the NCAA Championship Record in their event from the next line (in this case, line 29). If you want to look at the full procedure, check section 2.4 of the NCAA Pre Championship Manual. Once a swimmer is invited in an individual event, they can swim up to 2 other events in which they have “B” cuts.

See Updated Invite Lists, as of March 13th, here.

Official Lists

Cal leads the qualifiers with 17 individuals, and they’ll add at least one diver, with Connor Callahan qualifying out of Zones this week. Texas and Stanford have 15 swimmers apiece, and have both qualified divers as well – 3 for Texas and 2 for Stanford. Divers count as half a roster spot, with each team holding a roster limit of 18 for the NCAA meet.

Nothing changes much with the popularity of swimming from year to year, only the times get faster. Though this will be again the most fantastic meet, unfortunately very few people outside swimming will pay any attention, with the other NCAA March Madness going on. Can this narrative ever be changed?

To this casual observer of college swimming, the NCAA selection process seems overly complicated, and it seems bizarre swimmers are doing individual time trials with no one else in the pool to be able to qualify for a meet where racing and winning matters, not how fast you go. How did NCAA qualifying come to this?

What about Track and Field? Their process is pretty dumb…maybe not for qualifying exactly, especially in the running events, but think about at the actual meet. You could run a time in the 5k to win that would not have even qualified for the meet, depending on the “pace that is set”. As a swimmer and fan of swimming, I am always frustrated at running events over 400m because time does not ever matter to them. Its all about the race. What if swimming went this route? You’d see guys doing the 1650 by going out in 1:00 or 1:05 for the first few 100s, then just blast the last 200… wait, open water is kind of like this…

Also, what are you talking about when you said that how fast you go doesn’t matter??!? That’s exactly what matters when qualifying. Maybe to satisfy you we change to a system like Ski Jumping (sorry winter olympics are still fresh on my mind). You get a certain number of points for your time (like the FINA points) and then another score and set of points based on your form/technique.

Here’s how that goes: “Sorry Dressel, you went 17.9 in the 50 free, but you were a little too straight armed on the 4th through 8th stroke, your feet were too far apart on your turn, and your dive wasnt great because your head wasnt in a full tuck position….… Read more »

It doesn’t matter how fast you go in a meet where they score points by what place you finish. If a Dresssl goes 17.9 and Farris goes 17.7 should we give Dressel same number of points as Farris. I like the Winter Olympics comparison. What if swimming had it’s version of short track speed skating? Traditional speed skating a lot like swimming, stay in your lane go faster than the next guy. Now think of no lanes, with some strategy, drafting, blocking, and physical contact. Would be fun to see an exhibition 100 or 200 like that. Yes, Dresssek would probably win.

Poor GCU, they could easily send 3 swimmers… 2 first alternates missing it by 0.01

Was a good run for Texas, but unfortunately those Horns will probably hook 2nd or 3rd this year.?

Are you including diving points? Horns could score 40
plus. Depends on how healthy Shebat is to me.

Shebat is the lynchpin. If he swims close to what he did last year, that’s 35-40 more points than he’s currently projected to get. That’s like 10% of the team score that’s really kind of up in the air right now.

It’s going to be a closer meet this year, that’s for sure. Likely the last close NCAA meet for quite some time after Eddie gets a hold of the incoming classes of ‘22 ‘23 and ‘24.

One diver qualified for the men. Look at their roster: One senior, 11 Freshmen. Lots of great swims by freshmen at B1Gs, with some new B cuts, but no one quite there yet. If they can keep them around for 4 years and they continue to improve like this year (big ask), they could be a much stronger team in a few years time. If they aren’t able to keep them around and improving, it could just be more of the same in the future.

Based off of my calculations, and assuming there will be no scratches, Arizona will be swimming right next to UVA in the first heat of the first event Wednesday night in the 800 free relay. Interesting. Very interesting actually. Can anyone think of a more entertaining way to start this meet? me thinks not. #desorboeffect #buscheffect

Putting the 4 x 200 Free relay on the first night / at the start of the meet was a brilliant idea. Glad it is being maintained.
