THE DATE:
January 6-7, 2024
THE MEET:
The Mid States Championship meet is a Team Wisconsin Selection meet for swimmers ages 14 & Under. Unlike the summer Central Zone Championships where any athlete with a qualifying time can enter the meet, participation in this meet is set by a selection process.
QUALIFYING TIMES & QUALIFICATION PERIOD:
Registration will open November 1st.
A swimmer may apply to be a member of Team Wisconsin provided they
- Achieved at least one USA "A" Motivational time at a sanctioned or high school competition between January 1st, 2023 and the meet entry deadline of Monday, December 11th 2023.
- Are a member of USA Swimming in good standing and registered as a member of the Wisconsin LSC
NOTE: Boys currently in their freshman year of high school have been deemed ineligible to compete in this meet by the WIAA. The words "All Star" in the meet disqualify them from being able to compete, as it's not a meet eligible for everyone.
SELECTION PROCESS:
- Following the entry deadline, a top times list will be sent to each applicant in order to verify all top times are correct (Estimated 12/13). Please note that only times achieved AFTER 1/1/2023 will be used.
- Families will have 48 hours to approve their swimmer's times or notify staff of any necessary changes.
- After 48 hours (estimated 12/15), the coaching staff & admin will make an initial roster based on the top 4 of all individual events. Swimmers may have as many as 6 events for the meet and as few as 1. As swimmers accept/decline their invitations, swimmers may be added into additional swims. After the first day of changes & additions, no new athletes will be invited and entries will be added to the existing roster in order to fill their event schedule.
- By 12/18, the roster, individual events, and relays will be finalized. A&B relays will be determined from the eligible athletes participating in each day of the meet.
