Question 3

Does West Virginia publish recruiting times?

Accepted Answer

These aren't the school's numbers. They're what the freshmen on its fall 2026 roster actually swam, from official club meet results, and coaches weigh far more than one time.

Question 4

Who is counted?

Accepted Answer

U.S. freshmen on the fall 2026 roster, matched to their club swimming record, with their best short course yards time in each event from their senior season (Sept 1 to Aug 31). International freshmen, divers and anyone we couldn't match with certainty are left out. An event shows only with at least 5 freshmen.
