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 6 - Away meet vs. Hamilton at Hamilton Middle School (6:30pm start time).
  • Friday, October 9 - MISCA Dive Meet at Oakland University
  • Friday, October 9 - Football cleanup after the home game at HCHS
