Penn State’s Victor Baganha earned an NCAA invite to the meet that will begin in just over a week but has scratched. Arizona State’s Jack Wadsworth was the first alternate and has accepted the invite.
Baganha was originally the #30 seed in the 100 fly with an entry time of a 45.37. He was the last man to make the invite in the event this year as the cutline fell in the middle of line 31. With Baganha out of the 100 fly, only 29 men now made the cutline in the event. Baganha was also the 31st seed in the 50 free and the 43rd seed in the 100 free.
With Baganha’s scratch, the Penn State roster now shrinks from three to two athletes. Mariano Lazzerini and Cooper Morley will represent the Nittany Lions in Indianapolis.
Update: Penn State has three relays qualified for the meet and has confirmed they will be using the “next man up” to participate in them.
Arizona State is now at its maximum roster of 18 athletes. All 18 are swimmers for the Sun Devils. The only other team with 18 swimmers is NC State who had 19 men make the cutline but JT Ewing was scratched to get down to the permissible roster size. Ewing was notably the #25 seed in the 200 back.
Ewing’s scratch was key for Wadsworth’s invite as it happened before the official invites were sent out. Roster cuts and scratches made before official invites allow for all other swimmers to move up the cutline. This means that Wadsworth was originally in a three-way tie for the #32 seed in the 200 back but Ewing’s scratch placed him in a three-way tie for 31st. That moved him up from being the #9 alternate to the 1st alternate.
Wadsworth notably began his college career at Division III Ithaca College before transferring to Arizona State in fall 2022. Wadsworth will also swim the 500 freestyle and 100 backstroke at NCAAs.
Why did Baganha scratch? Is he going to Brazilian trials or something?
Braden. What do you see happening with PSU? Tim Murphy hasn’t been on the deck since the fall.
Word has been for a while that Murphy was headed to retirement. Wonder if something happened that pushed that sooner under the radar. They have an interim men’s and interim women’s head coach listed on their website and I’ve never seen that while there is still a head coach.

Interesting that Erin and Dan are listed as Interim gender head coaches, are they going to split the program with Tim leaving?
Why didn’t Dylan Felt from Davidson get an invitation?
Cut line was 30 he was 33rd. He didn’t qualify
yeah but they should have just given it to him, he’s a nice guy
And Rowdy said his stroke was beautiful….
Did NC State scratch a swimmer for their diver qualifying in Zone B yet? If not seems like this means Saleem also gets in the meet for Cal.
unless they leave the diver at home
And that’s another former D3 swimmer into the meet make the most of it Jack!
They had a relay qualified not? So now? What happens?
They had an A cut which belongs to the team, so this should not affect the ability of any of their relays to compete.
Si, verdad.
