The qualifying period has closed - who is in line to make the 2019-2020 U.S. National Team and get the accompanying benefits? Archive photo via“Rafael/Domeyko Photography”
Throughout the summer, we’ve been tracking the top 6 American swimmers in each Olympic event – those in line to make the 2019-2020 U.S. National Team. Qualifying closed as of Sunday, and although the team isn’t officially selected until early September, we can project the top 6 in each event over the qualifying period.
as determined by FINA.org’s World Rankings from January 1, 2019 through August 25, 2019
Rankings will be pulled from the FINA site on September 3 (giving swimmers a chance to make sure their time is included in the database)
Prelims, semifinals and finals (A, B, C and D) from all USA Swimming or FINA sanctioned meets are eligible
Relay leadoffs, time trials, swim-offs and intermediate splits are not eligible
Note: we did our best to pull out the top 6 swimmers over the qualifying period while factoring out time trials and relay leadoffs, but it’s possible we missed a swim or two here. If you notice one, please let us know in the comments and we will update accordingly. Just don’t bring up Regan Smith‘s medley relay leadoff or so help me God, I will pull this car over.
Projected National Team
Note that these are the projected members, but the roster is not officially selected until September 3. Time changes in the FINA database or other changes in eligibility could still affect this roster.
World championship times in Korea for the 400 free relay .
This is the margin Team Usa needs to work on :
Australia finished in 3.30.21 / Team Usa 3.31.02 .
Gretchen would well be the missing link to clean those 80 hundreds of a second off …..
Well. Not going very fast for him is an obvious start.

Wow! Women’s 200IM is certainly improving, not just in the US but across the world. I really thought Justina Kozan’s 2:11 from Jr. Worlds would make the team!

Can we not kill Braden or Jared guys they’re gonna have a heart attack from all the people asking about Regan Smith
you can be happy to know that he will not qualify for monthly stipends. but, you will unhappy to know that my HelloFresh delivery and Manscaper will pay him handsomely
Apparently you never swam because if you did, you would understand that getting DQ’d is part of the sport, and not everyone that get’s DQ’d is trying to cheat. Lilly King recently got DQ’d, but no one is saying that she is trying to cheat. It says more about you than it does Cody Miller that you feel so strongly about him. Is he struggling with this aspect of his technique? Clearly. Does this struggling mean there is something wrong with Cody’s moral compass and ethics? Of course not. IF you were a serious world class swimmer or you knew Cody (I’ve met him before and swam next to him at TYR Pro) then you would not be speculating on… Read more »
I don’t understand the ‘he’s a cheater’ narrative. There are plenty of infractions and penalties that occur in all sports and ppl aren’t labelled cheaters simply for a yellow chart, false start or pass interference.
hey! dont you dare put lilly king in the same level as cody miller! lilly king had a miscalculation on her turn, and she only got dqed once for it. cody miller on the other hand has been doing this intentionally to become faster. he got disqualified so many times for it, yet he still never changed it. lilly king made a mistake, cody miller cheats. period

How Jared is going to react when the next person says “Regan Smith”
Jared Anderson swam for nearly twenty years. Then, Jared Anderson stopped swimming and started writing about swimming. He's not sick of swimming yet. Swimming might be sick of him, though.
Jared was a YMCA and high school swimmer in northern Minnesota, and spent his college years swimming breaststroke and occasionally pretending …
well at least I finally know one person.
Gretchen Walsh to save our 400 free relay in Tokyo!

Anyone know what Cordes is doing?
Thanks

Who?
where can we post a petition to take out cody miller from the team? I say no cheats allowed in the US National Team.
Give it a rest. For everyone’s sake. There are bigger fish to catch *cough Sun cough*
nah. drug cheats, breaststroke cheats- theyre all the same to me. both done maliciously and with intent

LOL! I guess hellofresh and manscaper supports cheats then
