We have watched our Wahoos compete and improve all season. We are looking forward to our last home meet against Andover (July 24) and the 3 “championship” meets (the Novice meet, the Straehle Invitational Meet and the Divisional Championship Meet). These end-of-the-season meets allow our swimmers to compete against swimmers from across the CMSL. For new families or those who just need a reminder, below is a brief explanation of each of these meets.
The Novice Meet will be held on Monday, July 26 at Wynnewood Swim Club. This meet is designed for swimmers who are not usually in the fastest heat and do not usually place in dual meets. The qualification times are listed as “no faster than . . .”.
***The events and individual swimmer’s times are posted by the swim team bulletin board. It is a multi-team event with lots of music, good food and of course fast swimming!
The Straehle Invitational Swim Meet will be held on Wednesday, July 28 at the 4 Seasons Sports Complex. This meet is an elite championship meet that swimmers must meet a pre-determined qualifying standard. Swimmers compete against other swimmers from all teams in the Central Maryland Swim League.
***The swimmers who have qualified are listed on the bulletin board and will be notified by Coach Jill.
The Divisional Championship Meet will be held on Saturday, July 31 at South Carroll Swim Club. This meet is the final meet of the swim season against all 5 teams in Division 2. The top 4 Wahoos swimmers in each event will compete against the other teams in our division.
***Please check Coach Jill’s clipboard and swimmer ranking. EVERYONE (regardless of ranking) should verify if you are available by circling the events your child would like to swim or cross your swimmers name off the list if they are not available.
