Really?! In April 2005 in Salt Lake? Weird......
Really!! My coach and I both swam that meet. Where were you?
I checked the results on the Utah website. You did good.:applaud: :applaud:
Masters Swim meets are suppose to be open to any masters swimmer weather they are local, regional, state, zone or nationals. Meet Directors can impose a limited number of entries (base on limitation of the facilities), but CANNOT limit the entries to a geographic area. We do not hold a state meet since our LMSC cover 1-full state (KS) and western half of another (MO). We did have a dual meet between the KC and St Louise teams for a few years and held the meet in Columbia (central MO).
I have attended the Minnesota, Iowa and Colorado State meets; and most LMSC are glad to get the extra swimmers and revenue.
Anthony Thompson, Missouri Valley Masters
This is the "state" championship meet for anyone in Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, or Rhode Island. There are a healthy number of people attending for other states and LMSCs like NY, CT, Missouri Valley, Pacific Northwest, etc.
We get a large number of people especially from the Metropolitan LMSC (NYC), from teams such as Red Tide, NYC Hydras and Dutchess County Masters. Those three teams have a combined 87 swimmers in the meet... over 10%.
Connecticut is separate in Masters probably because it's been separate in USA Swimming. Why, I don't know. In USA Swimming, Maine is a separate LSC, but in Masters, Maine is part of the New England LMSC.
