TO: OAC Swim Coaches
FROM: Matt Lenhart, Swim Coach, John
Carroll University
SUBJECT: 2004 OAC Swimming Championships
______________________________________________________________________________
The
2004 OAC Swimming & Diving Championships will be hosted by John Carroll
University, at Case Western Reserve University on February 12, 13, and 14.
Entry
forms will be e-mailed to you by this weekend. Please e-mail a copy of your
roster containing name, year, hometown, event, coaches and managers as soon as
possible for inclusion in the program.
All
entrants above the allowed 18 scoring must be designated at the time of entry
submission. Please designate with an X
in front of the entrants name. Three
divers who dive only count as one entry.
Any diver who swims an event is counted as one entry.
Final
entry deadline for the Championship is Thursday, February 5, 2004. Your entries must be faxed to me by 5:00
PM, Thursday, February 5, 2004. The e-mail address to send them is Mlenhart@jcu.edu. Or fax them to 216-397-3043 attn Matt Lenhart.
The
seed time for the 1650 will be their 1,000 time.
Seed
for 400 IM is 400 IM time.
Note the change in time and structure of the
diving events. They will take place in total between
Swimming Prelims and finals on Thursday February 12 and Friday February 13th. There will not be any diving during the
evening finals sessions.
Parking is in the Veale Parking garage next to the Veale Center. It is run separately from CWRU, if guidelines are not followed you will have to pay full fee for parking. After entering the garage bring the parking ticket with you into the swimming pool. It will be stamped and you then return the stamped ticket to the attendant. Parents and other spectators will have to pay for their parking. There are no exceptions. If you are bringing a bus it must park in lot 44 which is adjacent to the Veale Center. A map is available by going to the following web-site http//parking.cwru.edu/map/map.htm and clicking on the #44 to enlarge.
The final major change is that each team MUST
provide one volunteer to act as a back up timer during ALL sessions, and
if your team is diving one worker to help with the diving table. Due to the nature of this year’s
championship John Carroll cannot provide all the necessary staff as we have
every year in the past.
After
talking with Tim Gleason it was decided that the entry fee will be determined
after the meet is run and all expenses are known. I anticipate that the final cost should not be anymore than the
$300.00 it has been in the past. In
fact with the addition of additional teams it may be less than in years past.
