WEEKLY UPDATE - January 29, 2023

Monty Hopkins

Hello MAST Families,                                                                                                                     January 29, 2023

CHAMPIONSHIP MEET SEASON:  It’s championship meet season and there are opportunities to race for every swimmer.  For MAST swimmers we hope to see as many swimmers (age 14 & younger) as possible qualify for the Ohio Swimming Junior Championship.  To qualify, swimmers will need to meet the qualifying standards (published in the OSI Junior Championship and OSI Regional Championship meet information).

To have a chance to qualify we are encouraging every MAST swimmer who does not yet have Junior Championship qualifying times (cuts) to compete in the OSI Regional Championship.  Even if a swimmer has a couple cuts, they should still sign up to swim other events at the Regional Championship.

MAST is planning to host a final meet on March 3 – 5 for any swimmers wanting one more meet, or for swimmers who do not qualify for the Junior Championship.  More information will be available soon.

The same March 3 – 5 weekend there will be a OSI Senior meet at Mason.  All MAST high school level swimmers should add that to their competition plans.

Of course, while we plan for these age-group meets, the high school tournament will be in full swing.  The Sectional Championship is February 10-11, The District Championship (for those who qualify to advance) will be at Miami University on March 17 (for Division 2) and on March 18 (Division 1).  Those who qualify for the State Championships will swim the next week at Canton.

The short Course season will wrap up March 23 – 26 with the USAS Sectional Championship in Indianapolis, IN for those with qualifying times.

Meet information for all these meets, as well as for other upcoming events will be published in the News feed as soon as the information is available.

PAST WEEK PRACTICE SCHEDULE:  This past week had some different practice times.  Any time we have a chance to offer practices earlier in the day, we try to take advantage of it.  That is why we had the different practice schedule this past week.  I want to thank everyone for their flexibility in attending these practices.

MARLIN TYR MEET:  Updated information is posted in the Events Tab.

USAS REGISTRATION:  This is another reminder that all swimmers must be current with their USAS Swimming registration.  USAS Swimming is now strictly enforcing this requirement.  This means that every swimmer must be registered to participate in practice and/or swim meets.  There are no exceptions to this policy.  If your swimmer is not currently registered, please make sure to complete the USAS swim registration before returning to MAST practice.  Unregistered swimmers will not be permitted to practice.  This is a USASwimming requirement.  Thank you, in advance, for checking to be sure your swimmer’s registration is current.

ONE LAST THING:  I noticed many high school swimmers (not just MAST swimmers) leaving the E.C.C. meet this past weekend after their last race.  I want to encourage all of you to stay with your team until the meet is over; be the teammate you want to have on your team.  I know that there are times that this might not happened, but being a better team begins with being a better teammate.  This is not as big of a factor at age-group meets but I would like to encourage the same thig  - especially at the upcoming championship meets.  We think the best thing to do at any meet is for swimmers to be in the team area throughout the meet, cheering for teammates and/or encouraging teammates throughout the entire meet.
