With the second round of fall invitational meets coming up this weekend, we at SwimSwam thought it would be helpful to give ours writers (and our readers) a handy at-a-glance chart of the top times in NCAA Division I swimming so far this season. We’re gearing up for a big weekend of swimming, as there will be several major invitationals, as well as USA Winter Nationals, where NCAA competitors will be able to earn national championship cuts thanks to LCM conversions.
Notes: “A” cuts are noted in bold print. An asterisk denotes a LCM conversion. Times reflect the USA Swimming database as of the evening of Wednesday, December 2nd.

We already had to make one update to this chart this evening, as the Texas Hall of Fame Invite began this evening with the 800 free relay, and the Arizona women took advantage of this to post the best time in the NCAA so far this season, with their time of 7:01.50 supplanting the 7:04.24 the Stanford women swam two weeks ago.
Yet, the Stanford women still have the most nation-leading times so far this season, as they account for nine of the top marks, five individual and now four relays. Stanford freshman Ella Eastin is currently the only woman in the nation with three top times, having set the pace in the 200 fly, 200 IM, and 400 IM.
The top times are a little more spread out among the men. Florida leads the way with five of the top times, but Alabama, Louisville, Missouri, and Tennessee all have at least three of the top times, and NC State also has one. Tennessee sophomore Evan Pinion has the fastest times in the country in the 500, 1000, and 1650. If you want to throw out the 1000 because it is not an event at national championships, then Pinion is tied with Louisville senior Nolan Tesone and Florida sophomore Caeleb Dressel with two top times each.
Why does swimswam even have a comment section? All to often, posters try to diminish an accomplishment for their own self serving gain.
Clark Smith just crushed that 500free time this morning! Looks like the Texas Invite will bring in some fast times!
john Johnson says li zhesi uses the name liz to cover up past doping. I confess this john Johnson guy has some serious critical thinking skills.
Strong times for this point of season with more Dec taper invitationals to come!
Any idea what the Longhorn men’s 800 relay went last night and why they were DQ’d? Curious on splits given the lineup.

Is the 1650 from Pinion not an A cut?
Got it fixed, thanks for the catch.
Dressel’s 100 fly time good enough to get him on the Texas C relay.
Haha, wild. Even crazier to consider is that a couple of years ago when they were seniors at Bolles I remember reading on here and Twitter that Schooling was really lobbying for Dressel to commit to UT – imagine if he was on those relays with Schooling, Conger etc
Mitch Larkin’s 200 back was Australia’s 5th fastest 200 free at nationals.
Random fact
The one inaccurate thing that I can see is that for the guy’s list, it says “SCHOL” instead of “SCHOOL”.
Figures. I managed to spell “Schwingenschlogl” correctly, but not “school.” Fixed, thanks.
