[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If swimmers do not have sectionals cuts, they should not be in G1[/quote]

That is awfully snobby.  Are you saying that if a kid is fast and can handle the workouts they should be shut out?  What if they are only fast in one stroke and struggle at practices in anything else?  What if they are .01 from a cut?  Deciding placement on one factor is stupid.[/quote]
Our NCAP site Gold 1 requires multiple sectional cuts. There are swimmers with more than 1 sectional cut who are still in Gold 2. It does not matter how hard of a worker you are, if you do not have cuts you aren’t getting in. It’s actually kind of nice that it’s so cut and dried.[/quote]

Are there more girls than boys in the group?  The times for the girls seem more achievable than those for the boys until the boys are much older.[/quote]
Yes, and it’s generally only girls who make that group as high school freshmen, although there are not many of those either. [/quote]

Seems like a way to lose talented males who get frustrated and quit?  Or no?[/quote]
No, it hasn’t worked out that way. Plenty of fast 15 year old boys. [/quote]

Interesting.  So girls are making it at 14 and then the boys at 15?  I would have guessed the boys would have been more like 16-17 so good to know.[/quote]
I would say there is about a year gap between the boys and girls. The very best 14 year old girls make it, and the very best 15 year old boys make it. Then there’s another wave of girls at 15 and boys at 16. [/quote]
