State swim meet changes

Based on the new PIAA swim schedule we are making changes to our travel plans and hotel reservations for the coaches and the team.
Team & coaches will now leave after school on Friday, March 17, to go to Bucknell. Team members do not need to miss school on Friday and can leave anytime after 2:30.  They can check into their rooms Friday evening and stay until Sunday. We have confirmed this with the hotel.  We will keep two rooms on Sunday for kids to use before & between sessions.
Everyone needs to remember that this year the state meet will be run just like the district meet in that there will be no finals in each event. The time in your heat will determine what place you finish in the state meet.
