Loyola University Maryland is proud to host the 83rd National Catholic High School Swimming and Diving Championship Meet. The National Catholic Championships will be held on the weekend of January 19 & 20, 2019 at the Mangione Aquatic Center on the Evergreen campus of Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore.
Important notes from the meet director for this year's meet:
The meet format is similar to previous years with a slight change to the diving timeline:
Diving will be split into two sessions in an effort to provide a better experience for the competitors. The girls will dive Saturday evening after the swimming sessions, while the boys will dive Sunday morning before the finals session.
Qualifying for the Meet:
If a swimmer makes one time standard, he or she may swim in one other individual event in which he or she does not have the standard (this is the rule for swimmers not entered in a qualifying relay).
A swimmer that is entered as part of a relay that qualifies may also compete in two individual events without the time standard.
Non-scoring B relays may be entered for any team that has entered an A relay. These B relays do not have to achieve the time standard to be included. Swimmers on the B relay may also swim in two individual events without the time standard. Exhibition relays cannot advance to the Final or Consolation heat unless these heats are not filled with A relays. Swimmers that compete on B relays may advance to A relays.
Team Entries are due by Friday, January 11, 2019
