New England Regional Entries - DUE TODAY 2/2/10

Dear GMA Parents, Swimmers and Coaches,
 
We are very excited to start our end-of-season meets.  This is such a thrilling time of year as our swimmers realize the rewards for their hard work all season and enjoy a positive team experience with GMA.  We hope that you are looking forward to it as much as we are.
 
The Regional Meet entries have been completed.  They are due to NCAC TODAY.  Therefore, ALL GMA FAMILIES must review the Regional Meet entries.  Please note:
(1) whether or not your children are entered
(2) if they are entered in the events in which they want to swim
(3) if they are entered with the proper entry times
(4) Please also pay attention to the relays in which your children are entered.  If they are listed as athlete number 1, 2, 3 or 4, they are the primary athletes selected for that relay.  If they are listed as athlete number 5, 6,7 or 8, they are the relay alternates and may be needed to swim the relay once we get to the meet.
 
PLEASE E-MAIL ME BACK NO LATER THAN 5:00 P.M. TODAY, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND, 2010 IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR CHILD ENTERED IN THE REGIONAL MEET AND/OR YOUR CHILD'S MEET ENTRIES NEED TO BE ALTERED IN ANY WAY.  All entries will be FINALIZED at 5:00 p.m. today and your family will be fully responsible for all meet fees and surcharges, regardless of your atheltes' participation in the meet.
 
We hope that we will have all of our GMA athletes who are qualified for the Regional Meet in attendance at the meet.  Of course, for the athletes attending the 12 and Under Championship Meet the following weekend, it is up to the parents, athletes and coaches to determine whether or not participation in the Regional Meet makes sense.  We recommend that the 13 and older athletes with qualifying times for both the 13-19 Age Group Championship Meet and the Regional Meet attend the Regional Meet as a positive competitive experience.
 
Once the entries are finalized, I will prepare meet packets with detailed meet information for all of our athletes attending the meet.  Please click HERE to see the main meet page for this meet for more information.
 
Thank you!
