Read 'em and weep...
The preliminary Top 10 listings for the 2012 long-course meters season, which ran 10/1/11 - 9/30/12, are now available. Please check for inaccuracies and email Mary Beth Windrath, or PM me, with potential corrections by Nov 24.

The Trials times were added very recently to the Top Ten lists. OT were a while ago.
Yes, sorry about that. Anna Lea gave a deadline for responses from the swimmers she contacted and only loaded the results after that deadline.
Everyone should realize too that some meet results are never loaded into the national results database, which feeds into the "current event rankings" listings, but they can still be submitted for Top 10 consideration.
Or sometimes they are only loaded just before the Top 10 data are due from the recorders (some time after the season ends), even though we specify that it is good to have them up within 2 weeks of the event. Sometimes that isn't possible if the data are in a funky format (for example, FINA world championship results took awhile to get uploaded for this reason) or if the meet director needs to verify things like heat/lane changes or relay names or whatever.
But generally people are getting better at uploading meet results into the database in a timely fashion, so current event rankings more closely reflect the final Top 10 listings.
