Timed Finals?
That is just silly!
As a swimmer from Utah, I totally agree!!! Utah needs to do prelims and finals just like the rest of the nation!!! It would truly show the best talent in Utah. I know Utah doesn’t have the depth like the rest of the country, but there is some talented individuals in Utah (Rhyan White, Jarod Arroyo, Jake Taylor are just a few to name).
State finals? My JV kids would all be in the last heat!!! ???
would you be?
