Old national caliber swimmers that never come back
Former Member
Interesting and unfortunate that the vast majority of ex swimmers that made finals at NCAAs or Nationals when they were younger (or even just cuts) do not now participate in Masters Swimming. Only a small handful of these people come to Masters Nationals each year within each age group.
What a good opportunity USMS presents to see old faces and have a good time. I think USMS would benefit tremendously from their knowledge of the sport.

Michigan just win a NCAA championship back in 1995. Plus they were 5 at NCAAs this year. Plus, Minn and OSU weren't that bad either. However, overall the Southern schools certainly out perform their Northern counter parts in the NCAAs and make up the majority of the top 25. Suprisingly though, Ohio, Penn, Indiana and Mich still turn out more high school talent than you might expect given the yearly finishes at NCAAs over the last 10 to 15 years.
