It can be either. Just means that it is different than last year.

10U are half a second slower

Are the red times new ones? Slower or faster?

I am surprised that they didn't wait until after the October Open.

As I remember it, last year’s times were posted prior to the Nov Open meets on 11/10.

I’m also pretty sure they posted qualifying times in the fall.

^^ PP. it’s also possible that PVS looks across multiple years. But they’ll use whatever algorithm they think works best to get the meet size they prefer.

The only reason the cut times will change is to make the meet whatever size PVS deems optimal.

Say they want 100 kids in the prelims for 10U girls 100 free. (This is hypothetical. I have no idea the correct target size.) If they had 120 qualifiers last year, they’ll make the time faster. If they had 80, they’ll make the time slower. The goal is to get as close to 100 qualifiers as possible.

So it’s not linked to the time standards.

Does anyone know when they plan to release (or usually release) the annual PVS cuts? With meets starting soon, my kids are wondering what they are working towards. And if the slower national age group motivational time standards will make a difference. Thanks!
