Projecting the Field: 2017 Men’s NCAA Championships

Update: The NCAA changed the pre selection psych sheet (it’s unofficial, that can happen). Jack Saunderson of Towson dropped from 26th to 32nd based on a time change. This bumped Angel Martinez of Texas A&M onto the 29 line and into the meet. Ben Cono of Loyola also dropped from 23rd to 36th. This bumped in Clayton Forde of Georgia from line 30. This post has been updated to reflect this new information. Thanks to commenter 1anda2 for bring this to our attention

Update 2: Never mind the ECAC times were restored, and the previously mentioned changes were reverted (more details). The article has been restored to the original projection.

The pre-selection 2017 men’s NCAA championship entries were released last night by the NCAA. These sheets don’t show who is invited to the championship, rather is a list of everyone who’s been nominated by their coach with at least a ‘b’ cut. This allows us to check where the cut lines are expected to fall if nothing changes before the NCAA releases the invited list.

A refresher: The NCAA will go through, event by event, and add one swimmer to each, until a certain “line” (aka, all 25th-ranked swimmers) puts the field over the maximum 235 individual entries (270 total minus 35 places for divers. Swimmers with more than one entry under the cut line only count once towards the cap). At that point, swimmers will be invited based on who is the closest to the NCAA Championship Record in their event. If you want to look at the full procedure, check section 2.4 of the NCAA Pre Championship Manual.

Everyone ranked 29th or higher should be invited. There are then 3 slots left on line 30. These go to:

Name Team Event
Hinawi, Marc Tennessee 1650 Freestyle
Phillips, Austin Utah 200 Freestyle

The alternates are:

Name Team Event
1 Forde, Clayton University of Georgia 400 IM
2 Martinez, Angel Texas A&M 200 Butterfly
3 Anderson, Thomas Arizona 100 Backstroke

While none of the above will be official until the final psych sheets are released, and it is possible that the pre-selection sheets will be changed before final publication, below is a list of the 235 individuals currently expected to be invited to the NCAA Championships. California leads the way with 17 invited swimmers. They are followed by Texas with 15, Stanford with 14, and Florida with 13. (the full qualifier by team counts are below the entries table).

He Gets It Done Again

Jackson Miller from Indiana could have qualified, but he wasn’t on the psych sheet. Was that an error, or is he choosing not to attend NCAAs?

There has been a change in the pre-selection list. Someone is out of the 200 fly, because the rankings now have Angel Martinez at 29.

28 Minuth, Fynn 19 South Carolina-SC 1:43.09
29 Martinez, Angel 19 Texas A&M-GU 1:43.25

Good catch. It was Jack Saunderson of Towson. His time was revised from 1:43.05 to 1:43.44. Updated qualifiers here is quite simple. Saunderson is out as his highest ranking event is now 32nd. Martinez is now on the 29 line so he is in. Thomas Anderson replaces Martinez as second alternate

And by Anderson I mean Mick Litherland. Anderson remains 3rd alternate.

Also Ben Cono went from 52.50 to 52.83, 23rd to 36th place. I think his results from ECACs must have been ruled ineligible as well.

The new 29th and 30th in that event (Klein and Castillo Luna) are already in the meet, so that would mean Hinawi is in now.

I meant Forde.

Ok. Post’s updated. Forde’s in Cono’s out. I think that should be the last of the ECAC changes.

Ok. The post should reflect the change to the pre-selection list. Thanks.
