Thought folks might enjoy looking at what happens when the big boys/girls come down from the mountain and do a USMS meet. SwimMAC Carolina Team Elite is sending the full crew to the Sunbelt Meet this weekend. The last heat of many events should be outstanding.

surprising the final heat of the mens 100 is as slow as it is compared to the 50.
None of the elite guys are in the 100, just the USMS mortals. But, still 20 USMS members entered under :54, not bad for a local/semi regional meet.
And 30 guys seeded under 1:00 in the fly. Some of those :59s are sandbagging...
I have no inside knowledge so this is just my speculation. I would be surprised if Team Elite goes to Nationals. Charlotte UltraSwim (Grand Prix Series) is two weeks after USMS Nationals and I suspect we will want to do well at that meet since we are the host club.
I spoke to a Team Elite swimmer this weekend and they are tentatively planning on swimming at Nationals, at least some of them. So, good news there, unless you sneak into one of their heats.

Cool! Always great to see elite swimmers enjoying Masters competition. :applaud:
You guys need to get some BR coaching back there in hillbilly country. And where was Jon Blank?!
That's a good question, don't know where he was.
As to ***, since the Dixie Zone is the nation's pre-eminent Zone, we have outlawed the "fourth stroke." Going forward, it is an exhibition stroke for those just introduced to Masters swimming. All IMs are now fly, back, choice, free. And, don't be hating on my 34.1. That was a bet with my daughter.
