2017 NCAA Division II Championships Pre-Selection Psych Sheet Released

One day after the pre-selection psych sheet was released for Division III, the USA Swimming stats department has released the Division II version.

2017 NCAA Division II Pre-Selection Psych Sheet

This psych sheet is not official and is mainly used by coaches to double check their entries, but it also provides the swimming community with a number of storylines to keep an eye on as we approach the 2017 NCAA Division II Championships. The Division II version of the meet will run from March 8-11 in Birmingham, AL.

Drury’s Bailee Nunn is seeded first in all four of her events, the 200 IM, 100 fly, 100 breast and 200 breast, while West Chester’s Georgia Wright holds multiple top seeds in the 1000 and 1650 free. Nova Southeastern’s Emma Wahlstrom, meanwhile, is seeded first in the 200 and 500 free, and West Florida’s Theresa Michalak is seeded first in the 50 and 100 free and second in the 100 breast and 100 fly. The 100 breaststroke looks like it will be one of the must-watch events of the meet, as all top three seeds have swum faster than Michalak’s winning time from 2016.

On the men’s side, Anton Lobanov of Nova Southeastern paces the field in both breaststroke events, and Colorado Mesa’s Sam Bryant holds the top spot in the 1000 free and 1650 free while sitting second in the 400 IM and fourth in the 500 free. Drury’s Konrad Stepien will also be one to watch. He is far and away the top seed in the 500 free, just a tenth away from the existing Division II NCAA record, as well as being seeded second in the 1000, fourth in the 200, and fifth in the 1650.
