Any decent meets this weekend? Emory is swimming against Davidson, but that’s really all I’ve heard so far.

hopkins at navy

The North Coast Conference relays are at Kenyon on Saturday. It should give some indication of team strength and shed some light on some of the new freshman.

Grove City this weekend is up against some Pennsylvania D2 schools at Clarion University (Clarion Fall Classic). Should be interesting, because I believe some of those teams start their training in Sept.

MIAA Relay Meet, results are here:

ginder was 1:43 in the 200 this past weekend.

21.29 from Robert Alexander at DePauw is worth a post too I think.

Where did that come from? His best last year was a 21.22.

Ginder’s 1:43 is the most impressive swim to this point, however Gross also had a pretty big meet. John Higgins was 1:45 high in the 200 in wheaton’s first meet as well

I was told that Centre’s pool was, shall we say, not the fastest this weekend.

yeah, making it all the more impressive. ginder’s the man. he’s always fast. he’s my pick for the 200 this year.

very impressive from robert alexander. i dont think he made NCAA’s last year but if that 50 swim shows anything, he could make an impact. obviously the fastest time of the year so far but im not ready to sign the title over to him just yet (which is very much open right now). courage and test are favorites, but it’s anyones for the taking.

Yeah I have to agree I think Ginder will probably win the 200 this year also. But what a race that is going to be with Peterson.

and curtis, guerard, spinelli (did he graduate?). i think that ginder is the front runner, but there are quite a few that could challenge.

we have a freshmen here who went 1:45.2 in the 200 last weekend, how does that rank out at this point?

Looks like he (Jarvis) had some nice times – 48.71 in the 100, 1:45.52 in the 200, and a 21.83 split in the 200 FR. I was surprised that he didn’t break 5:00 in the 500 though, especially since I thought you mentioned him as being strong at that distance in a previous post. Assuming he has a decent taper he should make the cut in the 200, maybe the 100. That’s a very solid 200 time for right now but you really can’t give a ranking until he makes a B cut. First, most of the guys who have been mentioned were at NCAA’s last year and have a history of getting down to where they need to be. Second, there’s no telling how many guys are around that time now – some lone wolves (like Trunk) and other unknowns. Now that Jarvis is on the radar I’m sure many will keep an eye on him.

I think that if you look at all the people capable of winning the 200 Free this year Spinelli is the one that tradionally improves the most each year. If the same is to be said for this year, we may see 1:38 high out of him, and that could be enough. He just swims out of his mind at every nat meet.

I don’t think 1:38 high will be enough to win.

i think the winner will be 1:38.5-7.

How many guys are going under 1:40 this year. Peterson, Ginder, Curtis, Courage, Spinelli, and maybe a couple of others. Could be one of the fastest top8’s in history

Add Geurard from JHU

courage very well could, but he hasnt done it yet and needs to learn how to swim that race better. he has a GREAT stroke for the 200 (very long, efficient), but it just never seems like he puts a great race together.

Yeah I agree I think when he went the 1:40 last year, he was out way to hard. I think in order to be in the 1:39 low range you have to be out in a very smooth 48 mid to low, and just really attack the 2nd 100. I use Triebe’s 200 last year, that was really well put together swim, especially the 24.9 in the last 50

24.84 😀

I knew I was close. Sorry to rob you of the 6 hundreths. Great swim though

I heard Jarvis quit after the first meet. He hasn’t seen any water time since he did that nice 200, meet wise.
