Before I post the kids times/seeds, it is important to note, coming into the State Meet that times can fluctuate significantly. Kids are prepping for this event all season, and while most coaches will allow a slight taper going into a typical meet, they try to keep the effort levels high, so the final taper for the state meet will be that much more effective. Obviously different coaches and different teams have their own philosophy on this, but for the most part this is the only significant taper the kids receive. Some kids that respond well to the taper will drop large amounts of time in the meet…hopefully, my kids respond well. The two snow storms in Atlanta really impacted the team’s taper routine, so we’ll have to see how the kids are impacted.

Below you will see the following type of information outlined…50 Free : 45/25 – 30.05 (28.97/10) : (30.09) –

Here is how to read it 50 Free is the event, 45/25 – the 45 is the overall seed in the event (usually that means 11 &12 year olds), 25 is the seed for 11 year olds. The (28.97/10) is the seed time for the person in this case in tenth place (the /# may change based on the race and seed), so a point of reference for what it would take to move up into points, medals, etc. (it is possible that there will be more than 1 point of reference provided. The final (30.09) in this example is the time of the 11 year old behind the kids. Hope that is clear enough…
