A friend at the pool the other day opined that USMS might push back the May 31 deadline for 2020-21 SCY Top Ten to accommodate those swimming at our delayed SC Nats July 21-25. Wanted to put in my two cents that I would be decisively against this idea. It would be a one year exception that could negatively impact the list for years to come. I would image there could be several swimmers that "age up" in that June 1 - July 25 time frame, who could "bump" others off the list. Do not disenfranchise those that qualify within our current rules, for a one year exception. I realize that with the pandemic some have not had the same opportunities to compete as others - but suffice to say, there have been many areas of life that the pandemic has impacted in a less than equitable way.
