Record Swim Times

Lori Foernzler has taken on the task of digging through past records and last years results to bring the record book up to date.

The Records Page has been updated - check it out!

Lori is also keeping up with new records which the 2009 MacDolphins have set a number of  this year.

MDCC vs Scotts Mill Logistics and Scratches

Next Tuesday the MacDolphins will swim against Scotts Mill at MacGregor Downs.  Scotts Mill has 175 swimmers so they are similar in size to the MacDolphins although they tend to have a lot fewer scratches.  As of this posting, the MacDolphins have 48 scratches.

We are working with Scotts Mill in advance in an effort to run the meet more efficiently however the software we use is not completely compatible with the software Scotts Mill uses.  It does not look like we can optimally fill all of the lanes in order to run the least number of heat races as possible as we were able to do with Glenridge and Kildaire Farms.  This may result in a few more heats being run than we’d like but there isn’t much we can do about it.

We still need to make sure that we know if your swimmers will be scratched from the Scotts Mill meet ASAP. The coaches will do their preliminary heat sheet on Friday.

Scratches

It is 4th of July holiday week and a lot of people are traveling.  It is important that you scratch if you will not be at the Scotts Mill meet. Please refer to the process for scratching from a meet if you will not be at the Scotts Mills meet (or any other meet as well). If you have any questions or run into problems, please don’t hesitate to contact Mike Walsh.

Check the Scotts Mill swim meet page to review the current scratch list.

Volunteers

Volunteer sheets for all meets have been updated.

Scratch and CCM Registration Confirmation

The MacDolphins web site received a technology update today which allows parents to view the meet scratch lists and the Cary City Meet registration list at their convenience.  At any time, if you are unsure if you have scratched for a meet, check the appropriate swim meet page and verify your swimmers are on the list.

If you scratch using the web site, you will see your swimmer’s name immediately.  If you scratch via e-mail or the bulletin board, their name will not be on the list until the next time I have a chance to enter the scratches.  The same holds true for CCM registrations as the process is essentially identical.

To view the scratch list, select the desired swim meet from the 2009->Swim Meet Schedule menu.

2009-06-30 MDCC vs Kildaire Farms Results - last updated on 07-02

Like last week there were a couple events where we didn’t have correct times using the Dolphin timing system.  We were able to use the score sheet and some information from Kildaire Farms to reconcile all but a few times.
