On Fri morning they were all gone. What a disappointment !!!

The facility pushed very hard to get the wedges in on time and to set them up for Nationals. We were very excited to offer something on the cutting edge of innovation. The concern was, since they hadn&#8217;t been tested or used for any meet, what if something went a little sideways with their use. If we started the 100 Back, but couldn&#8217;t complete the entire event, there may have been an unfair advantage to those swimmers in the earlier heats of the same age group. From both the Officials and Timing System personnel, it was determined to be in the best interest of the swimmers and/or the timeline to remove them. We understand your disappointment, just as I know you will understand our decision.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
