Zone Team selection dates for 14/Under athletes is 9/01/10 to 3/20/11 and for 15-18 athletes is 9/01/10 to 3/13/11.
For the 2011 meet, PVS will enter three swimmers per event for the 12 & Under events and two swimmers per event for the 13 & Over events per the new Zone Meet rules.
All times for consideration are based on the period 9/01/10 up to and including the cutoff date for your age group.
Applications (will be available soon) must be received by the Zone Team Coordinator for the 14/U athletes no later than March 20, 2011 and for the 15-18 athletes no later than March 13, 2011. NO LATE APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. All times for consideration are based on the period 9/1/10 up to and including the cutoff date for your age group. Applicants selected for the team will be notified immediately following the appicable cutoff date. Fees are not to be paid along with the application. The 2011 Zone fee $500 is to be paid once the swimmer is accepted onto the PVS Zone team. All checks are to be made out to Potomac Valley Swimming. Further payment instructions will be given once the Zone team is selected.
Best top 20 times are by age-group and event and are currently based on times for the period 09/01/10-3/20/11.
This list will continue to be updated periodically until the team selection process is completed. See here for a list of meets that are included. Ages are as of March 31, 2011; the first day of the Eastern Zone Spring SC meet. Athletes are ineligible for consideration if they have participated in a USA Swimming National Championship meet or USA Junior Championship meet and are excluded from these lists. Additionally, except for 12/U athletes, swimmers who have a qualifying time for the USA-S SCY Championship, 2011 Speedo Junior Championship meet or the 2011 ConocoPhillips National Championships may not participate at the Zone meet. Accordingly, a swimmer having any of these times is NOT included in these Top 20 lists for 13-14 and 15-18 year old swimmers for any event.
All times received to date appear in "Top 20 Preliminary Best Times" reports. All subsequent PVS meets will be automatically loaded, including initial relay leg swims, if properly loaded in the data base provided to PVS. Teams participating in meets in other LSC's should promptly submit an electronic file of the meet results to the PVS Database Coordinator for inclusion in subsequent updates.
