[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only a handful of NCAP-P kids at NCSAs. Are they doing a different meet?[/quote]

Last year they did the Shamrock Showdown, which seems like an odd Ichoice but whatever. [/quote]

Pretty much all on NCAP does this in place of Sectionals. [/quote]
Yup, a lot of the sectionals qualifiers that do not have NCSA cuts go to Shamrock Showdown. Which is a weird choice since the cuts for Shamrock are pretty slow, but maybe it’s because it pretty much [b]guarantees that the fast NCAP swimmers will make finals.[/quote][/b]

This is exactly why[/quote]

Have you actually looked at who is at this meet? There are many fast teams there .[/quote]
I just looked at the finals times from last year and the meet is just not that fast. It’s fair to say that the NCAP swimmers with sectional cuts, particularly the 13-14 year olds, are highly likely to make finals. There are NCAP 12 year olds who would final in the 13-14 events based on last year’s finals times.

It’s funny you say that shamrock isn’t fast on a thread comparing it to sectionals when in 6 out of the 8 events on the first day of prelims what it took to make it back was faster at shamrock than sectionals (girls 400 IM was TEN seconds faster)[/quote]
I highlighted the 13-14s, but in looking at some of the 15 and over events it appears Shamrock is faster, which may be a function of the fast clubs/swimmers opting out of EZ sectionals. [/quote]
