Updated psych sheets for the 2022 Women’s NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships were posted on March 4th. Louisville sophomore Adeline Farrington has scratched the meet, and 1st alternate Olivia Harper (Tennessee) has been called up. Farrington was the 38th seed in the 100 breast, and 52nd in the 200 breast.
YOU CAN SEE ALL THE RELEVANT DOCUMENTS HERE, UPDATED WITH HARPER NOW INCLUDED:
- Official Psych Sheets (with cutlines), updated March 4th
- Invited Swimmers by Team (Doesn’t include relay-only swimmers), updated March 4th
- Eligible Relays
- Alternates List
The tiebreak for alternates with the same ranking is a comparison of the swimmer’s time to the NCAA A cut, with the swimmer who is the closest to the A cut in their event (based on a percentage of the total seconds) getting first priority.

Harper will now be racing the 50 free and 100 back. She’s the 60th seed in the 50 free (22.52) and 39th in the 100 back (52.47).
Harper didn’t compete for Tennessee at the 2022 SEC Championships. She did, however, race at the Tennessee’s Last Chance meet on February 26th, where she swam her 50 free and 100 back times. Harper’s times in the 50 free and 100 back were both personal bests as well. Had Harper raced a SECs, her 52.47 100 back would have put her 8th in prelims.
With the addition of Harper, Tennessee now has a whopping 17 swimmers entered at NCAAs, making them the only team this year with more than 14 swimmers.
So far, Harper is the only alternate to be called up to NCAAs. If another swimmer scratches, USC’s Aela Janvier is next up.
#GBO!
Will Tennessee qualify more than 2 divers? I know very little about diving but I feel like Tennessee usually has a good program. If they get 3 they’ll run into the Texas Men scenario and have to scratch someone
Divers only count as .5 athletes. So we could theoretically qualify 6. Think 1-2 is more realistic. Still…incredible showing of depth by the Lady Vols. Have another on the alternate list and lots of incoming talent these next two years! Great time to be a Tenn fan 🙂
Theoretically only 2 divers. NCAA rooster is Max 18. Not 20
Tennessee doesn’t have much diving depth on the women’s side. My guess is two, at most.
The depth of this year’s Tennessee program is wildly impressive. It appears that they had quite a few different women compete at their last chance meet that put up times that would have been A or B finals at SEC Championships.
