Texas Swim Meet Results

TISCA recently submitted a proposal to the UIL committee to increase the number of qualifiers to the Texas High School State swim meet to 24 total qualifiers. The changes included 2 automatic qualifiers from each region to the state meet and then 8 additional call-ups. The final vote as to whether this will be adopted will happen at the October UIL meeting. If passed, these changes will go into effect for the 2016-2017 swim season. I like the changes because having more swimmers at the state championships is always a good thing. But, I'm not quite sure that having 2 automatic qualifiers from each region is the best solution. I would have asked to just have 1 automatic qualifier like it is currently, and then have 16 total call-ups. I believe that having 16 call-ups will make the meet more competitive than having 2 automatic qualifiers from each region.

The folks over at collegeswimming.com have created a new resource for high school swimmers interested in continuing their career in swimming. They have made a website called prepswimming.com which will provide resources for NISCA, state organizations, and coaches. Take a look at the section for Texas here:  http://www.prepswimming.com/state/tx/ . If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment here and I can pass along information to the creators.

Sectionals was held July 9-12 this year, which seems extremely early to me.

I will be helping collegeswimming.com cover the Men's 2015 NCAA Championships this week and weekend in Iowa City, Iowa. You can view some of my write-ups on their website here  http://www.collegeswimming.com/  . And you can follow my live coverage of the meet on the twitter account here: @collegeswimnews It should be a pretty nice battle between Cal and Texas.

Late notice on this, because I've been extremely busy at work. But, here is the link to the live results for the Texas HS State Swimming Championships: http://www.uiltexas.org/tournament-results/swimming-diving/2015/6a/index.htm

We had a tie for the 8th call-up in the girls 100 butterfly between Sarah Brumfield and Kaitlyn Romoser. Since their times were the same in finals, it goes to who has the fastest prelims time, and Sarah Brumfield had a 59.00 to Kaitlyn Romoer's 59.53. Once again, please email on mistakes/corrections, and I apologize in advance if I missed someone or if someone gets bumped out.

Looks like Region 6-5A is currently in progress. The meet didn't start until 4:30 PM because they had the 6A meet at the same location this morning. In the meantime, I currently need the results of the Girls 100 Butterfly from Region 7-5A. If you have those, please email them over.

I could have very easily made a mistake doing these. Please feel free to shoot me an email if I did at coachscofield@gmail.com  . Please keep in mind that this is an unofficial list, and if I did make a mistake and someone gets bumped out, I apologize in advance.
