Program Operations Report                                                                          1/11/00

 

Old Business:

 

1.      2000 SC Championships – Wesleyan has been secured for both Age Groups (March 2-5) and Seniors (March 9-12), though the University will still be in session for Age Groups and parking is expected to be a problem. Ken Block will include a ‘heads up’ on the parking situation in the AG meet announcement.

New Business:

2.      ‘99-00 SC Season Progress

a.      Meets consistently under-subscribed. Compressed sessions common. FINS 8/U meet (Jan 9) cancelled. Pentathlons (OAK and ARAC) under-subscribed.

b.      WYW AA Invite, NES Snowball Class, CAT Swim for Hunger big successes.

c.      Steve Riley of EDST has requested a sanction of their CCSWL Varsity Championship meet in February. I am waiting to receive a meet announcement.
