Working on ranking middle school swims from 2017-18. Will look kind of like TISCA All-State rankings. Nearly finished, but still waiting on a couple more results. If you ran middle school meets and haven't sent me results, please send via an email here ASAP.
Suggested this years ago, but might as well bring it up again. Folks love to see exhibitions like the 50 free "shootouts", right? I'd like to see meets like our national championships close out with something more.
Why not have women vs. men races? Maybe women's 50m back vs. men's 50m breast? Men's 100m back vs. women's 100m free?
Also, how about having medalists taking shots at world records in SCM? They're shaved/tapered and on top of the LCM world. Maybe even team up to take down some relay records while they're at it.
Quote of the Day
As far as self-discipline goes, it's still ultimately
up to me how well I can push myself. Only I
can do that. I just have to keep on going,
keep on working, keep on improving.

FINA handed Madisyn Cox a two-year suspension. Read more here
According to their full report, the FINA panel does acknowledge that Cox “did not act with intention” in ingesting the drug, and consequently limited her suspension to two years instead of what would normally be a four year suspension. Notably, Sun Yang was only given a three-month suspension for his positive test.
