The Mid-Penn Media Day for boys and girls swimming, wrestling, and boys and girls basketball will be held from 4:00-8:00 p.m. on November 7 at Cumberland Valley High School.
Please see the following important physical information from Rochelle Blakely, Bishop McDevitt's athletic trainer.
Winter sport physical packets and recertification forms are posted on the Swimming & Diving team website (below). If a student is not currently competing in a fall sport, the full physical packet must be completed. If a student is already in a fall sport, only the recertification form needs to be completed.
Families have the option of having a physical completed by their personal doctor.
