Great news! As of January 4th, we have both “A” and “B” Relays qualified for States for all Boys and Girls Relays !
Here is how I will determine who will swim on those relays at States:
- To be qualified as a potential swimmer on the relay, you have to have swum a relay that hit the qualifying time during the current season.
- With the ability to enter only one “A” and one “B” Relay per event, I am only able to enter 8 total swimmers per relay event.
- In some events, we have as many as 10 swimmers qualified.
- So being qualified, doesn’t necessarily mean you will swim
- The fastest times will swim.
- When considering who has the fastest times, I am considering both flat starts and relay splits.
Here are the relay times swum so far this season, with the State Meet Qualifiers in each relay circled:

Here is my tracking spreadsheet for the fastest splits among the boys. If the State meet were today, I’ve highlighted who would swim:

Here is my tracking spreadsheet for the fastest splits among the girls. If the State meet were today, I’ve highlighted who would swim:

There is still a lot of swimming between now and DAC Champs, which is the last opportunity to qualify for States. That means there are still numerous opportunities to qualify for a State Relay and to earn the right to actually swim.
We also have some individual qualifiers for States. Here is the State Championship Eligibility Report. Note that Event #101 and #102 is a Bonus event only for swimmers who have qualified for the meet in any other event, including relays:
