What's going on with the Gold Medal Sponsorship for Spring Nationals? Last spring it was $75. This year it is $175. I don't understand why it would go up so much. I am having a hard time imagining what could be worth that much.
under the nationals section the discussion of entries for spring nationals sandy rouseau explains the deal with the 175 dollar gold medal sponsorship. at other nationals i believe the gold medal sponsor ship actually contributed something to usms and/or the team sponsoring the meet. evidently this year that will not be so. i agree that it's hard to imagine a bunch of swimmers not bringing their own snacks and water - i am not sure what the silver medal sponsor ship is for....dinner with the officials .....we usually get the gold medal sponsorship if only to not have to schlep water and snacks but not this year.....i think it will be the same at omaha and then perhaps back to "normal."
