NCAA Div 1 Info
I was wondering the same thing. I think I saw only two people made the A cut in the 100 free. I think most events had around 5 A cuts. But I'm not sure if that is normal or not??? The A cuts are always next to impossible for most humans.
I would like to compare this year to last. I looks like there will still be some really fast swims. If there is going to be a noticeable change it will be in depth. The top 16 at NCAA's should be telling.
I compared the 2009 -2010 psych sheets for A cuts below. There does seem to be a big difference.
Reviewing the A cuts - Avg 10.6 per event in 2009 5.5 in 2010. I also looked at the first few events and compared each seed in succession and there was a fairly consistent increase by position. The 400 IM & 800 Free relay A cuts were a little surprising to me.

Controversy at womens NCAAs
Controversy
Kelsey Amundsen, who was invited to the meet by way of the 400 free relay for Texas, drew a meet misconduct penalty by not showing up for the 100 free. Typically, a meet misconduct is punished by ejection from the rest of the meet. Since Amundsen was invited as part of the 400 free relay, she must compete in that event. However, since she drew the meet ejection, Texas cannot legally finish the 400 free relay this evening. Texas' appeal of Amundsen's disqualification was rejected, and Texas has since scratched the 400 free relay for tonight.
Additionally, since Amundsen swam the third leg of Texas' 14th-place 200 free relay on the first night and never competed in the event (the 400 free relay) that drew her into the meet's invitee list, she has been ruled as an illegible swimmer for the entire meet. Therefore, Texas's 200 free relay has been disqualified according to an NCAA official.
In a day ruled by controversy (likely due to how many teams had a legitimate chance to win the title in the third day), Southern California drew a disqualification of its 200 medley relay from last night after a report that the Trojans did not swim a required swimmer on the relay. USC's qualifying time for the 200 medley relay was posted at Pac 10s with a team of Presley Bard, Anna Kowalczyk, Lyndsay DePaul and Joan Christel Simms. Kowalczyk did not compete for USC during either the prelims or the finals yesterday, thus disqualifying the relay since it was Kowalcyzk's only invited event. More information has come to the forefront that Kowalczyk was sick and not brought to the meet. USC, however, failed to inform the NCAA of the issue and she remained on the official roster. If USC had informed the NCAA, Kowalczyk would have been taken off the roster, and the first alternate would have made the meet.

How do you miss your event at NCAAs? I'd like to hear what happened.
