2008 TYR Grand Prix Series

TYR Grand Prix – Chicago Update # 2 Meet Program The final meet program is now posted on the www.tyrgrandprix.com website. Download a copy and bring it to the meet. For those without printers, we will post several copies around the pool and in the stands. Series High Point Award The series high point award winners will be announced at the conclusion of the meet. To be eligible for the series high point award, you must have swum in at least two of the TYR Grand Prix meets in 2008. This year, we are awarding the winners a custom TYR warm up – the Alliance Team Jacket. We will take the winners sizes at the meet and then mail the warm up to you. Stats I like statistics, especially when they show growth. This year we have 21% growth in participation with 141 swimmers. 33% of the swimmers come from outside of Illinois. The largest team is the Chicago Smelts with 14 swimmers. The second biggest is the Gray Sharks Leaning Towers YCMA with 13 participants. Swim Kentucky Masters is the largest out of state team with 8 athletes. Timeline Note the improved timeline on Saturday. Due to scratches, we will only have 4 heats of the 800 free. Sprinters, that means you have to wake up a few minutes earlier. I hope everyone has a safe trip to the pool. I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday. Mark
