Voice for the Sport: The Best Time of Year<\/h2>\n

Commentary by Joel Shinofield, CSCAA Executive Director<\/em><\/p>\n

Some people look forward to March Madness, but I look forward to Championship Month.<\/p>\n

In just about every corner of the country, you can find a swimming and diving conference championship meet in February followed by the NJCAA, NAIA and all three levels of the NCAA Championships in March. I realize that\u2019s more than a month, but it\u2019s a bonus for all of us!<\/p>\n

This year, the College Swimming Coaches Association of America adds to the championship season by relaunching the CSCAA National Invitational Championship with our partner, Speedo, and our host, the United States Naval Academy.<\/p>\n

As the NCAA meet has become the most exclusive in the world, and the caliber of athletes has exponentially grown, many of our best up-and-coming athletes were being left at home. Two coaches\u2014Steve Schaffer and Phillip Davis\u2014with programs transitioning from DII to DI, approached us about creating a meet for those athletes with NCAA \u201cB\u201d cuts who missed out on an invite for the NCAA Championships.<\/p>\n

We launched the meet in 2013 with eight teams. While the event was small, it produced school records, NCAA cuts and a great experience for the athletes. Last year, the NCAA passed legislation providing a season exemption for the meet, meaning\u2014like the NCAA Championships\u2014participating in the CSCAA NIC was exempt from the DI season limit of 144 days of competition and practice.<\/p>\n

This year, we\u2019ve had over 40 teams pre-register for the meet, which will be held in Annapolis at the Naval Academy, March 8-10<\/span>. It promises to be an excellent experience for the athletes\u2014whether it is the culminating event of their college career or a launching pad to the NCAA Championships.<\/p>\n

Whether you can get to our NIC meet or make the trip to one of the other college championship events, we hope as many people as possible in our community show up to support college swimming and diving as well as our tremendous athletes and coaches.<\/p>\n
