Craig Sea Sharks A, B, C OPEN June 18 and Craig, Colorado

Transcription

1 Craig Sea Sharks A, B, C OPEN June 18 and Craig, Colorado SPONSOR: CRAIG SEA SHARKS The Sea Sharks A/B/C meet scores swimmers results based on three time divisions. They are: A (Seasonal State Qualifying Times), B (WSC Qualifying Times), and C (Open or no time standards). For each event, swimmers results will be grouped into the A, B, and C time divisions and awarded points based on their results. It is possible for a swimmer to have results in all three time standards due to their ability level in each event. The idea for this type of meet is to motivate swimmers of different ability levels to earn points and awards against similar swimmers (See info on awards. The goal of our ABC meet is to motivate all swimmers to improve their times by offering some tangible rewards for those efforts. Our meet also includes a healthy dose of FUN! We host some fun relays between the morning and afternoon sessions on both days of the event. The fun relays will be listed in the coach s packet available at the clerk of course tent. Find some volunteers early! Finally, our meet is held on the same weekend as the city of Craig s Whittle the Wood wood carving event that includes, music, food, and family events.
