The State Championship Meet, prelims & finals, will take place at the Carpenter Sports Building (Lil Bob) at University of Delaware. Located on North College Ave for those who haven’t been there.

Limited parking is available at the lot across from the Lil Bob / Train Tracks on North College Ave

For Girls/Boys Prelims, please see timeline below:

3:30 PM – Doors Open to Swimmers
4:00 PM – Doors Open to Spectators

6:00 PM – Meet Begins

Girls Finals Timeline:

10:00 AM – Doors Open to Spectators + Warmup Starts
11:00 AM – Meet Starts

4:30 PM – Doors Open to Swimmers
5:00 PM – Doors Open to Spectators + Warmup Starts
6:00 PM – Meet Starts

I highly suggest that family/spectators arrive close to when doors open if possible, as the seating does fill up rather quickly.

Swimmers, please arrive BY 4PM on Wednesday + Thursday, so you are all good to go before warmup at 4:30PM.

I am aware, as well as the DIAA, that we may have some inclement weather this week which may affect that state championship prelims. If anything does change, the DIAA will notify the coaches and I will notify you in real time.

Parents / Spectators, please have your child request their ticket code from me if you wish to watch them swim. I believe it’s two (2) per athlete. Please reference my earlier posts today for instructions on how/when to purchase.

This week, we ask that all swimmers that have not turned in their team jackets, to please do so at practice. I don’t want to be carrying them out after states, so PLEASE don’t bring them there.

If anyone has any questions on practice / States, please feel free to email me brett.melcher@christina.k12.de.us

See ya tomorrow!!!

Best,

-Brett
