We have made it to the end of the 1st week of NCAA Division I conference meets, and after the two meets this weekend, there are nine swimmers qualified for the NCAA Championships, 5 women and 4 men.
The final night of the meets saw two Big West swimmers earn qualifications. In the men’s 200 breaststroke, Grand Canyon’s Carter Dooling swam 1:54.56 to take more than a second off his pre-meet best of 1:55.92. This swim came in four tenths under the NCAA AQ standard of 1:54.95.
On the women’s side, UCSB’s Samantha Banos earned her own NCAA qualifying swim with her 200 fly winning time of 1:56.44. This time was more than six tenths under the standard of 1:57.11, but was just off her lifetime best of 1:56.14 from November.
There were also a few swimmers who swam AQ times but have already earned invites. Hawaii’s Karol Ostrowski picked up a 3rd NCAA event with his win in the 100 freestyle with a time of 42.41. This swim was a tenth under the standard of 42.44.
Vili Sivec from CSUB also swam an AQ time in the 200 fly, touching in 1:42.37 to come in more than a second under the NCAA standard of 1:43.79. This was also a new best time by about a second, beating the 1:43.13 mark Sivec set at this meet last year.
Since Ostrowski and Sivec already earned NCAA qualifications earlier in the meet, they are only counted as one swimmer, and will only appear on the list with the first event they qualified in.
There were no NCAA qualifiers from the MAAC Championships which was the only other Division I meet this weekend.
