Zone Team selection dates for 14/Under athletes is 9/01/2012 to 3/17/2013 and for 15-18 athletes is 9/01/2012 to 3/10/2013.
Attention Coaches, Parents and Swimmers that are 15-18. If you know a swimmer will definitely not be going to Zones (probably because they are in college), please let us know and we will remove then from the top 20 lists. This will allow a more accurate list of who is really eligible.
For the 2013 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 9/01/2012 up to and including the cutoff date for your age group.
Applications must be received by the Zone Team Coordinator for the 14/U athletes no later than March 17, 2013 and for the 15-18 athletes no later than March 10, 2013. NO LATE APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. All times for consideration are based on the period 9/1/2012 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 2013 Zone fee of $525 is due along with the application. Please include a self addressed stamped envelope. Any athlete not accepted will have their check returned. All checks are to be made out to Potomac Valley Swimming.
Best top 20 times are by age-group and event and are currently based on times for the period 9/1/2013 - 3/17/2013
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 28, 2013; 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 2012 AT&T Winter National Championships or the 2012 Speedo Short Course Junior 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.
Zone Team Applications received through 3/17/2013 are now posted. If you feel your application is missing, please email PVS Zone Coordinator (click on the link).
Top 20 lists were updated March 19 2013 @ 1:40PM to to include meets through 14&Under Champs (JOs) and a Y meet that ended 3/17/2013 and to add two misplaced Zone Applications and correct the age of a swimmer (see for meets included). Also, RMSC swimmers going to NSCA Juniors were removed from the Top 20 lists.
