  • Electronic Entries Only (Meet Manager or compatible software). 

The 2025 Chris McCullough Invitational will be limited to members of teams swimming summer and/or winter leagues.  We are keeping the 15-18 age group open (any age) so even your former club athletes now in college or in the working world can come back and mix it up with the kids.  How you manage your relays is up to you and your club however, in the open age group we can’t expect some of the competing swimmers to be formal members of the teams or clubs they may represent. 

Our intent is to allow team alumni to come back and have fun but not for teams to go out and solicit a lot of “ringers” that will significantly affect the outcome of this age group. Hy-Crest will not consider any individual ineligible in this age group, and this is where you can have your coaches form a relay for the kids to cheer on!

Deadline for electronic entries is 6 PM Friday, June 20th, 2025.  Let us know if you have any questions, or if you need clarification about terms and conditions for this meet.
