Name Age Team Seed Prelims Beck, Spindrift 17 Mustangs 1:11.06 29.77 Why are the seed times for (apparently) 100s? Is the 50 just not contested enough for all eligible swimmers to have a seed time for that distance? Skip

because SR Cir meets has swimmers enter 50's with their 100 times www.utexas.edu/.../2008_senior_circuit.pdf swimmers also have to have QT's in the 100's to swim the 50's Why are the seed times for (apparently) 100s? Is the 50 just not contested enough for all eligible swimmers to have a seed time for that distance? Skip

Yes, see the Swimming World site for the info.

There is a great Aggie joke there somewhere. Unfortunate for Beck, but only in Aggieland could that happen... :rofl:

Apparently there's a problem at this pool with photographers stepping on the touchpads and stopping the clock. Might have happened in the breaststroke case?

USA Swimming says it will not honor cuts from the A&M meet before Sunday finals. At least, I think that is what the statement means. USA Swimming will not honor times before Sunday finals. I got this from swimmingworldmagazine.com just now. Too bad for Steve Wood and other masters swimmers, their times won't count for USMS top ten consideration/records, due to shortened pool length, except of course maybe some Sunday events.

Masters swimmer David Guthrie swam the 50, 100 & 200 breastroke 32, 1:09, 2:34 he swam the 50 free as well. Interesting that his last race was the 50 free, and appearantly he aged up from age 47 to age 48 right before that race because his age changed in the results. Maybe the folks in college station have trouble with the calculation?

spoke to david guthrie he brought a measuring laser incase any USMS records were set when they shot the pool it was like 49.97 meters so they brought in a surveyor to check it and he came up with the same # so they adjusted the pool on Sunday between prelims and finals
