PVS - Junior Champs vs Senior Champs

[Anonymous]

Can someone explain what happens when a swimmer has both Jr and Senior Champs cut times? I know the meet is held concurrently but can’t find any info on how it works when the swimmer has some Sr Champs cut and the rest are Jr Champs times. The meet announcement doesn’t answer.

I though junior champs has nst times. So the kid would swim those events at the Senior Champs.

I think the intent is that an athlete could enter both as QTs allow, but you’re right, it’s not specifically stated in either announcement.

Quick spot check of 2020 results confirms crossover.

So a swimmer with 3 Sr cuts and 2 bonus cuts could then sign up for 2 Jr champ swims? Or you can you only sign up for one or the other, even though they're running concurrently?

I think so, although, it would probably make more sense to increase the shot at finals by doing just the qualified senior champs events and everything else in juniors.

It’s probably all a schedule puzzle of what makes the most sense.

SRs has a NST cut, so you have to make that cut to swim SRs.

A swimmer can swim both meets at the same time, but you have to be careful about timing. The meets won't run on exactly the same timeline.

My swimmer has had events in both on the same days. Their coach will try to make sure that the timeline will not be a problem when selecting events. Their coach does not like the swimmers to bonus Senior Champ events where they have the bonus cut to increase the chances that they swim at finals.
