San Diego-Imperial Swimming has posted the event timeline for the Friday night distance events and the preliminary sessions on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Â Readers are reminded that these timelines are only estimates and cannot be relied upon for the actual start time of any particular event.
The meet formats for both JOMAX meets were updated today to correct typographic errors. Â For each JOMAX meet, a number of 9-10 age group events were changed to 10 & under events. Â This change will allow 8 & under swimmers to enter 100s of each stroke, the 200 IM, and participate in relay events.
The SI Program Committee has announced the results of a second round of bidding for Summer 2010 season meets. Â 4 meets were available to be hosted, and qualified bids were received for 2 of the 4 meets. The long course May 28-30 AB All Ages meet was awarded to NCA, and the short course June 12-13 BC All Ages (South) meet was awarded to CNSA. Â Because no bids were received for the April 23-25 ABC All Ages (North) meet, the committee voted to combine that meet with the April 30-May 2 ABC All Ages (South) meet and instead offer an AB All Ages meet to be hosted by CNSA. Â The other meet up for bid, a July 10-11 Senior Meet, was dropped from the schedule due to lack of interest by prospective meet hosts.
As a clarification, all teams entering the upcoming Short Course Junior Olympics are advised that they should email their electronic entry files to the Meet Coordinator, Mary Redmond, at seanmary@aol.com
The results of the SBA-hosted 12 & Under ABC Meet (South) held 5-7 February at the Loma Verde pool in Chula Vista have been posted.
The results of the FAST-hosted 12 & Under ABC Meet (North) held 5-7 February at the Fallbrook HS pool in Fallbrook have been posted. |
