• Districts 2018

  Parkrose High School, 12003 NE Shaver Street, Portland OR 97220

• Meet INFO (docx)
• Senior Swim Bio form (pdf)  (Seniors: download and print out, fill out. Due Friday morning at the meet)
• TIMERS— I just found out late Wed eve. they at some point Did switch and decided to assign our team a Timing Lane this year (and never told me they made that change after-the-fact) ah well, we will do what we can on Short notice!.. So, anywhere anyone can help out Please let me know ASAP thanks!!!!
  They also assigned Sandy a lane, and Sandy has only 12 swimmers on their team (they were large in the past), so that won’t work either! If we fill out ours and people can still volunteer, I’m sure Sandy would appreciate too! And remember, timers have the best front row seats in the house 😉
  For Putnam though, we need 2 timers for each time slot. (Timers and Chaperones get in Free to note) If you can do more than one, Awesome, let me know!

  (note: wrong time for Megan 200 Free 2:16’ish? and Lauren 100 Br 1:32.24, no worries – outside smokers! Maybe some others. I didn’t necessarily get all the last meet’s new times in there 😉
  Note the girls “A” 200 Free Relay… no pressure or anything 😉 – Based on PR splits offhand.
  The Girls Medley A Relay is not the correct time: 2:13 so should be seated 4th.
