The NIC was created because a growing number of students have been denied an opportunity to participate in a national-level championship. Since 2005, the number of Division I swimmers and divers (both men and women) has increased by more than 10%.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><em>&#8220;As Division I has continued to grow,&#8221; explained CSCAA Executive Director <strong>Joel Shinofield<\/strong>, &#8220;the number of postseason opportunities has not. \u00a0The NIC remedies this.&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The 2019 Championship will continue to be the \u201cchampionship for champions\u201d by providing automatic qualification for all Division I conference champions. \u00a0Automatic qualification, Shinofield explained, resulted, in part, because of discussions with Division I athletic directors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s clear that athletic directors place a high value on conference championships and see it as an important gateway to national opportunities,\u201d Shinofield explained. \u00a0\u201cWe believe we\u2019ve created a qualification process that has the best of both worlds &#8211; access paired with high-level competition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is a format that has resonated with athletic departments with forty-one institutions having already committed to the meet, with the biggest increase occurring among Power 5 institutions. <strong>Greg Earhart<\/strong>, Director of Research &amp; Programs anticipates the event filling and suggests teams\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cscaa.us11.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=4431f0555af57dfc9f32bb291&amp;id=43ac054f57&amp;e=7a25fb86c6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/cscaa.us11.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D4431f0555af57dfc9f32bb291%26id%3D43ac054f57%26e%3D7a25fb86c6&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1537929757161000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHiVyVmh0hJUAj5mUCqP4Y_uKHVBg\">declare their intent to compete<\/a>\u00a0quickly.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to announcing the selection of Cleveland State, the CSCAA announced the introduction of several new events, qualifying standards, and meet innovations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Events \u2013 Tougher Standards<\/strong><br \/>\nFor 2019, the NIC will be adding 50-yard events for the backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly and the 1000-yard freestyle. With the inclusion of the 100-yard individual medley, the NIC will crown champions in more events (52) than any other collegiate championship.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the addition of eight events, the CSCAA unveiled time standards for the meet. \u00a0The standards reflect the NCAA\u2019s new and much-faster time standards and increasing popularity of the meet. To date, forty-one programs have declared their intention to compete. That is, according to Greg Earhart, a tenfold increase over this time last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adding Fun &amp; Excitement<\/strong><br \/>\nIn addition to the additions of eight events, the NIC will offer a twist when it conducts the 1000-yard freestyle. \u00a0Taking a page from NASCAR and bicycle criteriums, the NIC will award points based on swimmers\u2019 positions at the 1000-yard mark. The change is expected to introduce a new element of strategy and excitement into the sport\u2019s longest pool event.<\/p>\n<p>The CSCAA is also seeking to enhance the championship experience for the participants and fans. \u00a0To do this, they plan on eliminating the use of pre-recorded music before the meet and in between events in favor of a live DJ during the evening finals. Additionally, fans will be asked to help select the swimmers-of-the-meet via social media.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Facility<\/strong><br \/>\nSince its opening in 1973, The Robert F. Busbey Natatorium has been considered one of the fastest short course pools in the country. Many pools constructed since have taken notice of the design and have incorporated several aspects into their own construction. Water depth in the competition end of the pool ranges from 12-16 feet with direct overhead lighting, and wide flow-through gutters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The opportunity to hold the NIC at Busbey Natatorium will add to an already rich history. This is the first time since 1984 that all of Division I swimming will be able to come to Cleveland and compete in one of the fastest pools in the history of our sport,&#8221; explained CSU head coach <strong>Paul Graham<\/strong>.\u00a0 &#8220;We are excited to share with the collegiate swimming &amp; diving community all the history of this world-class facility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The natatorium has been the site of championships of all shapes and sizes during its history. \u00a0These include sixteen national aquatic championships, dozens of college conference championships, the NCAA Championships, Gay Games, US Masters National Championships and Speedo Sectionals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Growing History<\/strong><br \/>\nThe 2019 Championship will be the fourth in the event\u2019s history and a result of NCAA legislation that provided an exemption from teams\u2019 declared playing and practice seasons. \u00a0In 2018 Florida International University captured the women\u2019s title while the United States Naval Academy won the men\u2019s meet. Over 400 student-athletes competed in 2018 with San Jose State\u2019s <strong>Colleen Humel<\/strong> and Wright State University\u2019s <strong>Mitch Stover<\/strong> earning athlete-of-the-meet honors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinning the CSCAA National Invitational Championship was an honor. \u00a0Our athletes were thrilled to win a meet on a national stage in the postseason,\u201d said FIU Head Coach <strong>Randy Horner<\/strong>. \u00a0\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to go to Cleveland this year and see how the meet grows and defend our NIC Title.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Navy men\u2019s coach <strong>Bill Roberts<\/strong> added, \u201cThe CSCAA National Invitational Championship was a terrific meet to be part of. We were honored to host and definitely look forward to seeing this meet continue to grow and develop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_330436\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-330436\" data-attachment-id=\"330436\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/cleveland-state-will-host-2019-cscaa-national-invitational-championships\/unnamed-12\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed.png\" data-orig-size=\"750,1175\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"unnamed\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;unnamed&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy:&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed-700x500.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed-654x1024.png\" class=\"wp-image-330436 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed.png\" alt=\"unnamed\" width=\"750\" height=\"1175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed.png 750w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed-533x835.png 533w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed-128x200.png 128w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed-654x1024.png 654w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed-150x235.png 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed-319x500.png 319w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-330436\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy:<\/p><\/div>\n<p><i>The above press release was posted by Swimming World in conjunction with\u00a0the CSCAA.<\/i><i>\u00a0For press releases and advertising inquiries please contact<\/i>\u00a0<strong><i>Advertising@SwimmingWorld.com<\/i><\/strong><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The College Swimming &amp; Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) has selected Cleveland State University to host the 2019 National Invitational Championship (NIC).
