Pat,
I feel your pain. I never swam in an Olympic Trials meet.
In 1984, I didn't go to trials but made OT cuts about month after the meet in the 50 fr, 100 fr & 100 fl.
I watched the 1988 trials in Austin but wasn't training much at the time.
From the fall of 1990 to the summer of 1992 I attempted to make the
1992 50 free trials cuts. The cut was 23.49 and my best swim was 23.65.
So I missed it by 16 hundredths, but I had a blast training.
Oh well.
Ande
I can't speak for the other cuts, but the men's 400 free cut hasn't changed since 1988 (maybe even earlier than that). I know all too well because I missed it then by a margin that still pains me. The 400 IM appears to have gotten a few seconds faster, though, probably a combination of back rollover turns and Kitajima-legalizing the dolphin on the *** pullout.
