 Divisionals

This is the big meet for our division at the end of the dual meet season on Saturday, June 17th at Klein Oak High School.  Only official times achieved at a dual meet or one of the NWAL approved mid-season invitationals count for Divisonals and the post-season meets of Trinity and Ponderosa.  This also applies to relays.  If you do not have an official time for one of the strokes you swim on a relay you cannot swim it in a relay at Divisionals.

TAAF
