We will try our hardest to have all results for meets added to this page within 48 hours of the meet close. (We may go to 49 hours because of daylight savings time). Meet results will be posted at the bottom of this page in order by week.
From time to time additional reports will appear next to the meet results. Most common are the Swimmer's Best Times report which allows you to check a swimmers top times as well as check the status of a swimmer's CHAMPS status (Gold, Silver, Qual). These reports are current up to the week they are posted so look to the most current week when reviewing top times reports.
Each event has three divisions: Gold, Silver and Bronze. The Bronze division has two categories: Qualify and Bronze. If you are listed as QUAL in the results, this meansthat you have a qualifying time to swim that event at Champs. In our Heat Sheetsyou will see times immediately following the event and before the swimmers’heats and lanes. These times are the qualifying times for those divisions. Ineach division, the first six places are awarded ribbons — First through SixthPlace. So each event has a possibility of eighteen swimmers being awardedribbons (six in each of the three divisions).
A swimmer may come in first, second, third, etc., in the first heat of an event. Thisdoes not mean that they will receive a first place ribbon. It depends on who theyare swimming against in their heat and also how fast the swimmers in theremaining heats swim. If they are the only bronze swimmer in the first heat,then it is possible that they may receive a first place ribbon in the bronzedivision for that event. It is also possible that they may get a second, third,or even a sixth place ribbon. This also holds true for Silver and Goldswimmers. Justbecause we seed according to the swimmers “best” time, doesn’t mean that theswimmer will swim a better time at the meet. Sometimes they do, sometimes theydon’t.
If you look at the heat sheets, there are only several seconds between aBronze Qualifying time, a Silver time or a Gold time. So it really depends onhow fast each swimmer swims during a meet compared to how fast the otherswimmers in that event swims. Plus, you have to factor in the Gold and Silverdivisions. A Gold or Silver swimmer could swim a bronze time and a Gold swimmercould also swim a Silver time.
Once aswimmer has achieved a Gold or Silver time, they will still be a Gold or Silverswimmer —no matter how fast, or slow, they swim in other meets that season. Soa Bronze swimmer may swim faster than a Gold or Silver swimmer in Heat 1, but aswimmer in another heat may swim faster than the Bronze swimmer that swam inHeat 1. When the results come in, the software program (“Meet Manager”)will put the results in the correct order taking in consideration what divisionthat swimmer was entered in. If a swimmer achieves a Silver or Gold time at ameet, that does not mean that they are a Silver or Gold swimmer for the currentmeet. They will be a Silver or Gold swimmer at the next meet that they swimuntil the end of the season (after Champs). The fastest time that a swimmerswims this season will determine their “seed time” for the first meet nextyear.
