From the people who tried out for the team I think I was top 8 overall which is pretty good because it's my first year trying out and I am also trying out against seniors so I did pretty well. I wanted to go for a 55 and below because that would get me on the team but my previous best was a 53, for swimming a whole second of time drop is pretty good so I'm happy with my swim.
Only got to swim 100 free yesterday and will be the first heat of 100 breaststroke today. I got a 52 in the 100 though so I am almost guarantied to be on the team.
Yeah you have to swim 50 and 100 free and the 100 free determines if you make the team but you can also optionally swim 2 100s of any stroke. So I think if you are on the edge but have a super good breaststroke you make the team while if you only swam free you would have been cut.
Only the top 30-32 boy and then the top 30-32 girls to make the team, the cut tends to fall around 55-57 seconds for the boys so I have to ideally get below at least 55. As I said earlier it is our 100 free time that determines it.
Have tryouts for high school swim team today. A little nervous I have to go a sub 55 to make the team for a 100 free and my best is a 53 but I swam it 6 months ago so it should be faster now. Just nervous that my googles might break or something.
Was happy with how the pattern looked too but still found it funny that we would get missed by 50 miles. Though would like to see this pattern set up a week or two later as you said then we could get into December with it and probably get some actual snow.
BWI: 23.4
DCA: 17.1
IAD: 29.3
RIC: 13.2
SBY: 16.4
I think there would be a pretty hard gradient this year both to the north and to the west of DC this year but also a costal that just misses DC to the East giving the Eastern shore a good storm. I also think there might be to potential for a decent storm if we luck out and our area is due so might as well wishcast too. Then for RIC there will probably be a suppressed storm or two.
Before I make my guess, since this is my first year what does SBY mean? I understand BWI as Baltimore, DCA as DC, IAD as Dulles and RIC as Richmond but not SBY.
