I think its worst for girls to be denied decent practice. Many high school programs still have girls practice as much or even less yardage than master teams. I read this on the net, that one girl commented that they only practice 2,000 yards, while the boys I remember in high school had workouts of yardage between 5,000 to 10,000 befored they tapered. So, this ruling hurts girl swimmers more. This is the state of Missouri of course. This is from Phillip Whitten on the swimming world news on the internet. We complain about college programs being elimnated for boys or young men but what about the unfair treatment of girls in high school sports that can't practice on a USA swim Team during their high school years.

Mission Viejo isn't the powerhouse they were. But swimming year aound makes it easier to make it on their boys team. Irvine Girls team you have to swim year round. They had 5 swimmers that had national times. And they had girls doing 1:07 on the JV team on butterfly.
