Projecting The Cut Line: 2023 Women’s NCAA Championships

Comments: 15

Updated: The initial psych sheet released by the NCAA contained an incorrect time from Audrey Yu on Northwestern in the 100 free. That time has been removed and the psych sheet updated. The below article has been updated to reflect this change. The main consequence was Katie Stevenson of William and Mary moving from 2nd alternate to in and alternates in spots 2-10 moving up a spot.

2023 WOMEN’S NCAA SWIMMING AND DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

  • March 15-18, 2023
  • Allan Jones Aquatic Center–Knoxville, Tennessee
  • SCY (25 yards)
  • Meet Central
  • Pre-Scratch Psych Sheets

The pre-selection psych sheets for the 2023 Women’s NCAA Championships were released Tuesday morning, showing entries for next month’s championship meet.

The field has gotten increasingly competitive at the top, with just one swimmer on row 39 projected to be invited. Last year, five swimmers on row 39 were in position to be invited. A big thank you to SwimSwam’s Andrew Mering for running the numbers.

As always, our projections are unofficial. The NCAA will release their official psych sheet with the cut list tomorrow.

Selection process

1. 35 of the men’s spots and 41 of the women’s spots are set aside for divers, who qualify for the meet at zone competitions closer the NCAA Championships. That leaves 235 men’s spots and 281 for the women.

2. Every ‘A’ cut put up this season is added.

3. The next fastest swimmers in each event are added until every event has the same number of entries. For example, if the 50 free were to have the most ‘A’ cuts of any event with 10, then every other event would get swimmers with the top 10 fastest times in.

4. Finally, one entry is added to each event to keep the entries per event even. This process is repeated until all of the swimming spots (235 for men, 281 for women) are filled. Keep in mind that as more rows are added, swimmers will start to double and triple up. The #1 seed in the 200 back might be the #15 seed in the 100 back – as the 15th row of swimmers is added to each event, she’ll be added to the 100 back list, but won’t take up another one of the 281 invite spots, as she already has her official invite.

5. The final row of swimmers added won’t come out exactly even. In the final row, the swimmers with entry times closest to the NCAA ‘A’ cut will get added first, and when the 235th man or 281st woman is added, the process stops. So the 100 fly could have 38 women and the 200 fly 39 women – that would mean the 39th 200 flyer was closer to the NCAA ‘A’ cut than the 39th 100 flyer and therefore won the ‘tie-breaker’ for the final spot.

2023 CUT LINE PROJECTIONS

Projected Alternates

With the projected cut line falling one line into row 39, the NCAA tiebreaker comes into play to determine who is selected. The NCAA uses a simple formula to determine how close the swimmer is to the NCAA ‘A’ cut to break ties, a change that was made four years ago. The mathematical formula is the A cut divided by the swimmer’s time, with the highest percentage (or closest relative time to the A cut) winning the tiebreak.

However, this year, two swimmers, Arizona’s Maddy Burt and Missouri’s Taylor Williams tied right on the nose, due to the fact they both have the 100 fly as their best event, and they have the same qualifying time: 52.20. As a result, the second tiebreaker comes into play.

The second tiebreaker uses the swimmers’ times in the next event in which the swimmer is highest on the list and therefore closest to being selected in that event. The NCAA computes the percentage of each respective swimmer’s time in their next-best event to the ‘A’ cut, and whoever is closest will earn an invite to the meet.

Burt wins the tiebreak as her #2 event, the 100 freestyle, is closer to the ‘A’ cut (96.74 percent) than Williams is in the 200 butterfly (95.5 percent). That makes Williams the first projected alternate.

Why don’t they run this meet like USAS meets, where if you make the cut time, you’re in!?!

Because the meet is capped at a certain number of swimmers.

Audrey Yu entered the NCAA championship with a 47.92 100 freestyle supposedly done at a dual meet in December. Looking at the results, she split 23.88/24.04. In a 8×50 free relay?

Fastest flat start looks to be 50.34 this year. Don’t know how whoever did entries for NW doesn’t catch that.

Not a great look when you only have 5 swimmers making the meet. That’s a “Big” oversight to submit a swimmer with a time nearly 2.5 seconds faster than their season best.

Almost as bad a look as not entering any of your relays (looking at you OSU)

Clearly you haven’t tried to use the new USA Swimming site and OME. D3 precut list had some of these same mistakes, but rectifying them did not create headlines

They updated the psych sheet with her time removed. Bumps Katie Stevenson into the meet. We’ll update the article shortly.

Second Alternate
Reply to  Andrew Mering

The article described in detail the tiebreaker situation, and identified the “1st Alternate” being Taylor Williams. I’m not smart enough to comprehend how “2nd Alternate” moves into place, but no mention of the “1st Alternate”. Maybe I don’t understand the terms “1st” and “2nd”?

If errors are caught and corrected BEFORE official psychs come out, then it’s recalculated from scratch.

If it’s caught AFTER official psychs come out (aka today), or scratches happen because divers put a team over the roster, or someone now decides they aren’t going to swim, then it goes to the alternate list.

The 2nd alternate wasn’t pulled up because she was the 2nd alternate – she was pulled up because she was the next-best swimmer in the 100 free, which is where the errored swimmer was removed from.

It’s because the entries are done on an event-by-event basis prior to the alternates being entered. Thus, with Yu’s time not being valid, the entire 100 freestyle line behind her time got shifted up one spot, moving Stevenson under the initial cut line. She never would’ve needed to be an alternate if the error wasn’t made, so it essentially eliminates her being an alternate all together. The first alternates remain as first alternates because their strongest event wasn’t the 100 freestyle, so the exclusion of Yu’s time had no effect on them.
