• As some noticed the meet notice change disappeared from the meet website yesterday. MD Swimming has weighed in on the matter of the 7th session and has directed that we do not add this, maintain the original event order per the meet notice, and limit the sessions to 4hrs by removing swimmers from non-LSC teams first, then in entry order fashion (last to first) next. We will lose swimmers and will be working later into Friday and Sunday night, which is the exact opposite of what we were attempting to do. Unfortunately we did not catch the oversubscription in time to be able to properly apply for a deviation on the meet notice. Attached is the current scratch sheet and new session timeline. On the Website you find the current meet notice and complete psych sheet.
• The 800 Free session... we are ensuring enough heats to fill all LSC swimmers and then filling in Alternates from non-LSC teams who positively checks in by 9:30am. Please note the only change to the meet notice that is now current are the Session start times on Sunday. We will plan to settle entry fee issues after seeding the 800 Free on Sunday.
