thanx, Scott. Got my Indiana 2002 entry information the other day for our qualifying meet which will be happening on July 10. The listed events are all meters, as evidenced by the "M" designation and the 400 free, and no mention of 100 IM. The pool of the venue is one that I have not seen, Washington Middle School in Indianapolis, so can't offer any solid guess about its possibilities.
What I forsee at the least is continued confusion about the meaning of seed times and lane assignments when the finals take place in 2003.
