Several Spartan Swimmers Post NCAA Cut Times

TAMPA, Fla. - Following the annual Spartan Invitational to conclude the fall semester, the University of Tampa men's and women's swimming teams have seen several swimmers register NCAA cut times for the 2018 NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving Championships.

To automatically qualify for the NCAA Championships, a swimmer must earn the A-cut in any event.  All swimmers with A-cuts get invited to race those events. The "B" standards bring additional swimmers and teams to the competition and to give swimmers with "A" standards bonus events.  Relays, however, must not only have attained the cut, but also have at least one swimmer (or diver) that has been invited to the meet individually. However, relays are qualified to the school, meaning that once a school has a relay team with a cut, it can take whichever swimmers it wants for that event, not just those four which swam the qualifying time.

Tampa's men have competed in 24 consecutive NCAA championships, finishing in the top-10 in two of the past three events. The Spartan women have raced in 16 straight championships, finishing as high as fourth in the nation in 2012.

The 2018 NCAA Championships are scheduled for March 14-17 in Greensboro, N.C. UT returns to action on January 5 against Indian River State and will compete in four spring meets before the Sunshine State Conference Championships on February 22-25.
