2018 TYR JUNIOR NATIONAL CUP
- March 20-24, 2018
- Lynchburg, VA (Liberty University)
- Meet Central
- Meet results available on Meet Mobile
Due to issues with the timing system at the ISCA meet which caused swimmers’ times to appear .39 faster than they actually were, times listed below have been adjusted to reflect USA Swimming’s decision to add .39 seconds to times swum at Wednesday prelims, Wednesday finals, Wednesday time trials, Thursday prelims, and Thursday time trials sessions. Read more about the decision here.
Night two of the 2018 TYR Junior National Cup featured finals for the 16 & under 200 medley relay, 200 IM, 100 back, 100 breast, 50 fly, and 800 free relay.
The Tac Titans women’s team of Brooke Zettel, Charlotte Hook, Claire Curzan, and Elena Dry kicked things off with a win in the 200 medley relay, going 1:41.25 (25.95/28.86/23.85/23.60 — a new 13-14 national age group record (NAG). In second was the Ohio State Swim Club in 1:42.94, and in third, the Mason Manta Rays in 1:43.54.
The Mason Manta Rays team of Carson Foster, Ian Van Gorp, Jacob McDonald, and Adam Chaney won the men’s relay in 1:28.85, a new 15-16 national age group record. Posted results list splits as 21.82/31.07/16.57/19.39, which are obviously wrong. Looking at the video below, it looks like the middle two splits were around 26.0 and 21.5. The Virginia Gators took second place in 1:33.73, and in third was the Tac Titans in 1:35.79.
The Virginia Gators’ Emma Muzzy won the first individual event of the night, going 1:58.19 (26.35/29.29/24.49/28.06) in the 200 IM. Danika Katzer of the Coast Guard Blue Dolphins was second in 1:59.31, and the Mason Manta Rays’ Hannah Foster third in 1:59.26. Ridgefield Aquatic Club’s Kieran Smith split 23.05/27.02/29.30/25.28 to win the men’s race in 1:44.08 (Michael Andrew scratched finals after going 1:43.11 in prelims). Jake Foster was second in 1:44.36, and the Gators’ Kieth Myburgh third in 1:46.32.
Muzzy made a quick turnaround, winning the women’s 100 back in 52.51 (25.71/26.80). Tide Swimming’s Callie Dickinson was second in 53.72, and Danika Katzer third in 54.57. Carson Foster was just shy of a NAG in his 100 back win, going 46.68 (22.24/24.44). The Cincinnati Marlins’ Justin Grender was second in 46.83, and the Gators’ Khalil Fonder was third in 47.76.
The Potomac Marlins’ Holly Jansen won the women’s 100 breast in 1:01.46, followed by the Ohio State Swim Club’s Janessa Matthews in 1:02.11. Hannah Foster was third in 1:02.39. In the men’s race, Michael Andrew went the #2 17-18 time of all-time, winning the race in 51.18 (23.71/27.47). Jake Foster was 2nd in 53.47, and Jason Mathews third in 54.33. Watch the race below:
The Mason Manta Rays’ Harna Minezawa won the women’s 50 fly in 24.56, followed by FAST’s Rebecca Evans in 24.72, and Greenwood Swimming’s Kasja Dymek in 24.80. The Virginia Gators’ Khalil Fonder won the men’s race in 21.35, followed by Cason Wilburn in 21.60, and Benjamin Kuriger 21.65.
The Mason Manta Rays’ women’s team of Allison Bloebaum, Kierstyn Cassidy, Cora Dupre, and Hannah Foster dominated the 200 free relay, winning in 7:18.86 (1:49.41/1:53.17/1:48.20/1:48.47). Their male teammates Jake Foster, Jacob McDonald, Adam Chaney, and Carson Foster also won their race, splitting 1:38.24/1:40.59/1:40.48/1:34.78 for a final time of 6:34.09.
Fake times!!
Kids will be chasing best times after this meet for a while (for a few, a long time). Hope they get it together. How are that many kids on their second or third tapers dropping 4 tenths in the 50? Get it together – they are going to walk away thinking they actually hit those times.
Holly Jansen did not win the 100 breast.
Well that’s confusing, because I just looked at results again, and they still say she did.
Anyone time the race in the video yet?
Hopefully they fixed the issue. If not, then the 50 freestyle times will make it blatantly obvious that something is wrong due to the insane amount of best times.
Surprise…MA went 23.5 50 breast this morning. Best time coming I was 24.2.
He went faster for the first fifty in both 100 breaststrokes yesterday. Honestly don’t really question that swim!
Yeah…cause those swims were off too!
These times have to be off. Slow down MA’s video to .25 and notice he takes off right at 0:50, and touches the wall a good bit after 1:41. I also hand-timed the swim 3x and got 51.17, 51.18, 51.22. Very peculiar
And hand time is usually .18 ish quicker!
It’s a little hard to see the finish on this video, but my hand-times were 51.17 and 51.08.
in short…plugged things into the wrong socket
This advice follows a recent incident whereby the Daktronics system was incorrectly set up resulting in a delay in the start of the timing system. This delay can be observed by comparing automatically recorded times with those of timekeepers using manual stopwatches. Normally times recorded by timekeepers are quicker than primary times recorded by the Automatic Officiating Equipment (AOE). However, should the times recorded by the AOE be consistently quicker than those of the timekeepers it is likely that the equipment has not been connected correctly.
Daktronics Start boxes provide 2 sockets for connection to the various AOE Timing systems available. It is imperative the correct socket is used depending upon the type of timing system being used. “Daktronics… Read more »
“Daktronics would like to state; when connecting the HS200 horn start, there are two options, Normally Open and Normally Closed, labeled Daktronics and Other. It is imperative the start cable is connected to Daktronics-normally open {when connected to Daktronics equipment}
However if the system were to be connected to other-normally closed, Daktronics would agree it would reasonable to expect a time quicker of approx. -0.396 seconds, there resulting in times consistently 0.39 seconds quicker”
That’s EXACTLY what I was going to say. Triggers the clock at the end of the tone of the instead of the beginning. It’s a fix that takes less than 2 seconds. Somebody needs to read the damn instructions.
