Will the rule ever change that regular teams compete against each other at Nationals? By this I mean that whole states (Colorado, Illinois, etc) come together as a team once a year. What about us "little" guys that always compete together (and work out at the same pool all year round)?
Why can't these huge "state" teams stay small and just be in the small or medium divisions like the rest of us?
(In my humble opinion- it's very humble- I don't see relays as a reason for this). Many teams don't have enough people for relays... that's the way it is.
The other swimmer from my team who is a 60 year old woman is thrilled that she will be on a relay. Our team has tried and tried to get 4 people to go to the Bloomington meet, and Julie and I are the only ones to ever go. She told me that she has not been on a relay since her age group days and this is very exciting to her! She has qualified for Nationals for the first time, so that is exciting for her too.
