Long Course State Cuts and info

Good morning,

The Long Course State meet qualification standards should be up on the Colorado Swimming website soon as I have received them.  I will have them with me at the meet this weekend for the swimmers to see.  Since the meet is in Grand Junction we are able to run it in two pools for prelims which means we have loosened the cuts for the meet since we can accomodate more swimmers.  The cuts will be about 10% easier than the short course standards which really adds up.

Also, it would be wise to make hotel reservations for the trip soon as Grand Junction tends to have other events going on during summer weekends and hotels can fill up quickly.  There are a lot of hotels on Horizon Drive in Grand Junction and they are not far from the pool.  Remember the meet starts early Friday morning and it is a 4 1/2 hr drive so a Thursday night reservation is necessary.  BTW, we love Grand Junction and the swimmers always have a good time when we race there.

We will expect all qualifiers from our younger groups and Senior groups to attend as well as all Sectional group qualifiers who are not swimming at the Sectional meet , Junior National meet or US Open.  Swimmers attending the bigger meets can check with Andy for his summer plan for you.

Thanks,

Coach Catherine
