Many Olympic Trials Cuts Achieved at NCAP Elite Qualifier

By Reach for the Wall Staff

While several PVS clubs travelled to Richmond for the Super Sectional meet, NCAP decided to stay home and host a meet at the Jeff Rouse Center to provide an opportunity for their swimmers, along with swimmers from Arlington Aquatic Club, Machine, NOVA of Virginia, Stingrays, and The Capitol Sea Devils to go after Wave I & II cuts. On May 4th, USA Swimming tweeted out statistics consisting of swimmers and clubs that have made the qualifying standards for Olypic Trials. NCAP coach Bruce Gemmell replied ‘We aren’t finished yet’.
