Final Regular Season Meet vs. Woodbridge
On January 30, 2021, Battlefield Swim & Dive finished our last meet of the season and I am extremely proud to say that both the Boys and Girls teams finished the season undefeated and District Champions! In past years, the District Champions were decided at the District meet, but the team record was used this year with Districts being a cyber meet. Congratulations to you all for a great season and all your hard work. Due to Covid-19, there were a lot of changes this year and it wasn’t always easy. You all performed when it was needed and it paid off.
Districts – As you all know, the District meet was replaced this year with a cyber meet. The cyber meet was necessary to fairly determine which athletes would advance to Regionals. The Regional meet asked the District to advance the top 6 individual swimmers/divers and top three relays by event. To arrive at this, the coaches submitted a line-up as they normally would for the District meet. Instead of actual swims and dives being performed, the top time or score achieved by the entered athlete over the course of the season was used to place the individuals and relays. Entries for the meet were sent yesterday evening and the individual swim/ diver and relays were ranked within the hour. This meet was not scored, but did provide the list of swimmers and divers advancing to Regionals. Battlefield has a large number of top six swimmers/divers advancing to Regionals and all six relays advance as top seeds.
Practices – Like years in the past, we will continue to hold practices at the Freedom Center over the next two weeks and they are open to everyone. If you are a club swimmer, you will still need to contact us to make sure that we have room for you. Even if you are not advancing to Regionals or State, we would encourage you to take advantage of the pool time.
Congratulations again on a great regular season!
