The Section 1AA Championships take place this week with Preliminaries on Thursday and Finals on Friday. Unlike Big 9 Conference where titles are more about bragging rights, here titles infer extending your season. Sections is where swimmers can qualify for the State Championships in Minneapolis the following weekend. It REALLY doesn’t matter what you have done prior to Sections, it matters what you do at Section Finals. There are two ways to qualify for the State Championships. The easiest, or maybe a more accurate description would be straightforward way to qualify is to swim to First or Second place in the Section Final. Beyond those two guaranteed spots, anyone swimming under the State qualifying standard IN the Section Final ( sorry guys, Consolation Finals doesn't cut it) ALSO gets to swim at the State Meet. I have seen as many as 4 or 5 individuals and as many as 6 relays qualify in one event. Diving is a different matter, there are no standards, you HAVE to finish in one of the top four
spots in the results.
The Winhawks have their work cut out for them, the Section features a lot of talent.
