[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It may be like some of the Championship meets around here: if you meet the qualifying time for one event, you are allowed to swim the maximum number of events, and even kids who only qualify as a part of a relay get to swim individual events too.

So it may be that the college swimmers you see who are below the cut time for that event are swimming that event as an 'extra body' but made the cuts in other events.[/quote]

I was referring to "B finalists", even took a long time last night and looked up swimmers' times on usaswimming data base: many Division 1 February conference finalists don't have official NCAA Division 1 time cuts in any distances.

Can it be that colleges hire swimmers not only based on times,  but also with min GPA/testing results, and as a result they simply don't have enough applicants with min passable GPA and Division 1 official cuts?

At local PVS championship yes, they would allow someone without cuts to be entered in some circumstances, but those kids won't make B finals at JOs....
