Is Scholastic All-American competitive?

[Anonymous]

Is the USA Swimming scholastic all-American program competitive, or does every swimmer with the cut and the gpa who does the paperwork get the award? It seems like it's the latter, but I can't find anything definitive.

Thanks in advance!

The latter. Not competitive; tons of people make this.

Just under 1.5% of high school swimmers qualify. Essentially it’s a time cut plus gpa (from core academic classes) and you receive the award.

Anyone can see who has the times, but this tells you who does and does not have the grades. It reveals the top 1.5%.

The question was just too see if anyone with the minimum criteria was NOT awarded. Like it's the top 100 per event who meet it and if there's a 101, tough luck to the last kid sounds like it's not though.

If you have a cut and have the grades, you will get the award. If your DC qualified, you should have gotten an email from USA Swimming by now.
