As of 8:10am this morning one of the finer programs in the country is lost due to "budgetary" problems.
No one saw it coming and they just recently signed some top level recruits that gave them one of the top 3 recruiting classes in the country.
Tim - is the NAU pool still open? I swam there a few times in the 90s while visiting my bro who was in grad school there. Super pool.
Yes it is, and that is a great pool. I swam there a few weeks ago while I was in Flag for a biz trip. One of the middle lanes was, "closed," to normal swimmers while some special folks trained there. NAU regularly gets extra funds by allowing the use of the pool (and track, and other facilities) for high-altitude training.
There's a very small masters group that swims there, I think just 2-3 times a week. I swam with them once and was the fastest there (and I'm not fast). Usually I'm not there the right day and just go during open swim (an experience in itself). The pool is usually set up long course.
