Has anyone suggested that Cheryl did anything wrong? She is an outstanding meet director and did send out a first come first serve email notice to those swimming the distance events the prior year. I think the disappointment is directed at Team Z for snatching all the spots and only participating in the meet one day. They are essentially using a Zones Meet for their own Distance Meet.
I share Neill's concern about it causing people not to swim on Sat & Sun. As it is, the women's events go more quickly than the men's events and, for a Zones meet, they run about the same length as an in season local meet. (From my POV, this already short duration makes Zones a poor choice for a taper meet.)
Nope, it is all geared at Team Z. Cheryl runs a good meet and goes the extra mile to submit times to the SWIMS Database for USAS swimmers. Several DV swimmers aren't coming now. I am sure that there will still be a good contingent for Sat. and Sun. Maybe the 400IM, 200 fly, 500 free might have less swimmers than previous years.
