Quincy university pool1/19/2024 ![]() “This is all normal for first-year programs and we’re lucky to have the numbers that we did,” head coach Bryan Christenson told SwimSwam on Friday. The program originally had 12 signed, but they lost 2 athletes in August (one went to Texas A&M to join the Corps of Cadets as a non-athlete, one was a Russian who ‘had bigger things on his mind in Summer 2022 than swimming’). In spite of improvements over that conversion in his freshman year at Quincy, he is ineligible for post-season competition. He arrived at Quincy with a long course best of 2:05.54 in the 200 IM and 4:30.15 in the 400 IM, which convert to roughly 1:50 AND 3:57, respectively, in yards. Walsh, a freshman, is from the United Kingdom, and specifically the Millfield School, which is renowned for sending swimmers to the American collegiate system. Walsh ranks 8th in D2 this year in the 400 IM with a 3:51.77 and 16th in the 200 IM with a season-best of 1:47.97. That meant the Hawks were ineligible for NCAA qualification in spite of having one of the fastest 200 IMers in Division II swimming: Wyatt Walsh. Of those 10 men, only 9 were eligible from the start of the year and competed in competitions. Only had 10 swimmers on their men’s roster (8 freshmen and 2 sophomores), and 6 on their women’s roster.

In NCAA Division II swimming & diving, teams are required to have a minimum of 8 intercollegiate competitions with at least 11 participants for any members of a team to be eligible for the national championship meet. The NCAA waived certain roster and competition requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic, but in 2022-2023, almost all of those rules are back in full-force, and those rules kept one first-year team out of the national championship meet this year.
