PHOENIX, Arizona. THIS newest update of the Class of 2008 includes the second version of the Swimming World College Recruit Rankings (Yds) system, as detailed here.
Also, we have separated the men's and women's classes into two listings:
Men's
Updated May 1, 2008
Women's
Updated May 1, 2008
We will continue to keep these lists updated on a regular basis as even more signings and commitments occur.
If you are a member of the class of 2008 and have made a decision on where you will be going to college, please contact Newsmaster@swimmingworldmagazine.com so that we can include you in the update as well!
Initially, recruits are ranked based on their top short course yard (SCY) times as reported in the USA Swimming times database. Recruits listed above two stars have their qualifying times listed beneath their profiles.
Once a recruit's initial ranking has been decided, Swimming World will accept promotion petitions from coaches and swimmers as recruits improve upon their times. To do so, please contact Newsmaster with a link or copy of results.
Special thanks to Adlai Pappy for help with the re-ranking process.
