Format of Meet:

    • This is a 12 team invitational with Division 3 schools.

    • Each team is limited to 4 entries per individual event and 3 entries per relay (A, B, and C). As this is much more limited than a dual meet lineup, I will do my best to get people at least 1+ swim while maintaining our fastest possible lineup.

    • The top 16 overall score in each event, regardless of heat. A and B relays can score.

    • Awards will be handed out during the meet to the top 3 for each relay and top 8 for each individual event.

    • Divers will compete an 11-dive meet that will run simultaneously with swimming.


Looking Ahead:

  • Tuesday, October 7 - Away Meet vs. Grand Rapids Christian at Calvin University (7:00pm start time)
  • Friday, October 10 - Football cleanup after the game at HCHS
  • Tuesday, October 14 - Away Meet vs. Spring Lake at Spring Lake High School (6:30pm start time)
