ND swimmers...Congratulations on a GREAT State Championships!

below you will find the pool entries for the...2012 14 & under Central ZONE Championships in Pleasant Prairie, WI...        August 3, 2012 thru August 5, 2012

if you find an error or you have a question about your swimmers individual events please e-mail me at:  moormarlin@aol.com  or shoot me a text at:  701-261-9144 cell/text

I have posted the individual entries in 2 formats for each age group...by name...& by event

POOL individual entries...

you have until 12 midnight... TODAY, MONDAY, JULY 30, 2012... to review your individual entries and get back to me...PLEASE send a response that you have seen entries and they look good, that you have questions or you found an error...

after this DEADLINE there are no guarantees that we can adjust or correct an entry...

if your swimmers entry has NT listed after it...that is because they did not meet the qualifying time standard...the central zone requires ALL entries not meeting the entry standard to be entered as NT...

THANK-YOU so much for your HELP in the entries process...

RELAYS...

Relays are the property of Team ND...and as such will be decided by the Team ND coaches and decisions will be made as to what is in the BEST interest for Team ND...to be selected to be on a relay is a privilege and not a right and should be treated accordingly...

The way a swimmer performs at the meet could change how relays are swum...a swimmers behavior could change the order or composition of relays...a swimmers attitude could create the need to reorganize our relays...

you will notice that there are no names published for relays...relays are at the coaches discretion...relays have been entered with names...however, relays are not set in stone...if the coaches need to make an adjustment on relays they will do so...any potential adjustments are for the benefit of Team ND...

Your HELP and understanding with this will allow the coaches to do their job and make this the BEST experience possible for Team ND...

PICTURES...

PLEASE remember we would like ALL swimmers, coaches & chaperones to have khaki shorts or bottoms for our team picture in Wisconsin...thank-you

OPEN water entries...

the following swimmers will be entered into the open water event...

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OPEN WATER EVENT WITH THESE TEAMMATES THE DEADLINE IS THE SAME AS FOR THE POOL EVENTS...PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP & LET ME KNOW TO ENTER YOU IN THE OPEN WATER SWIM...IT IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO TRY A NEW EVENT & HAVE FUN!!!

Noah Remily, Jared Norton, Ethan Porter, Kyler Alme, Gerald Brown, Quinten Hogue, Joshua Olson, Kevin Kramer, Kathryn MacGregor, Olivia Roche, Jenica Werder, McKenzie Dauner, Lexi Dauner, Breah Anderson & Kenya Arends

More INFORMATION will be coming...please check back tomorrow

If I have omitted anything that you think should be available please let me know...
