Individuals with B Cut Potential

VanderBroek’s leadoff of the 800 Freestyle Relay (1:42.66) at Nationals would have qualified him in most years. He is another that should be considered to go based on individual performances.

Just wondering a couple of things:

How can Meisner not be considered an A cut contender in the 2 breast?

What events will Boumgarden and Powers be getting their B cuts in? I assume the 50 but thats a long shot.

I don’t see Engers getting a cut, he still has a ways to go, the 100 could be close though, not the 200. You did say potential, so i’m ok with it.

A-cut potential

Espinosa – Kzoo
Heyboer – Hope
Krone – Albion
Meisner – Olivet

B-cut Likely
Dekker – Kzoo
Gardner – Hope
VanderBroek – Hope
Waterstone – Hope
Jethro Tull – Calvin

B-cut Potential
Bacon – Albion
Boumgarden – Calvin
Bylina – Olivet
Engers – Hope
Fetters – Olivet
Key – Olivet
Powers – Olivet
Tuuk – Calvin
King – Hope
Resseguie- Calvin
Holton – Hope
Jaffee – Olivet

I’ll change one thing:

B Cut Likely
Bylina – Olivet

Can we call Texas just Tex. Or Big Tex if he is stout.

I heard he was small, but lil’ tex just doesn’t sound right. Tex, to K swimmers, refers to a recruit from Texas who told us he was coming but currently swims at Denver… Tex might make some K swimmers unhappy.

While all of those B cuts listed are possible, the league is not near as good as this makes it look and i would bet that more than half of those do not happen. It’s fun to dream about though.

yes but that proves the point, that every swimmer from Texas that goes out of state is called either Big Tex or Tex.
