Senior Western Zone Championship task force

Subject: Senior Zone Meet

As many of you may recall, at our most recent conventionin Chicago, the Western Zone delegation empowered a small task force to explore and formulate ideas for the continued support and success of the newly formed Senior Western Zone Championship. In particular, the task force was charged with: awarding a host for the 2010 meet, determining the format, and coming up with general ideas on ways to make it successful.

Although the marketing and promotion of the Senior Western Zone Championship will be ongoing, after a series of meetings, I’m happy to say the task force has completed their work. The task force consisted of several coaches and advisors from throughout our zone.  The task force consisted of coaches: Jay Benner, John Bitter, Rick Klatt, Julie O’Neill, Jon Hayashida and Todd Marsh; athletes: Coral Yoshiwara and Colin Eaton; and advisors: Robert Broyles and Larry Johnson. I would like to extend specialthanks to Marilyn Loitz, our Zone secretary, for her outstanding notetaking as well asUSA Swimming’sstaff member Bill Krumm, for helping to facilitate our meetings.

In addition, Iam also happy to report the task force used $0 of the $2000 authorized for this group.

The recommendation of the task force is as follows:

  • Three day format (see second page)
  • The meet was awarded jointly to Clovis Swim Club and Fresno Dolphins
  • The meet will be at Clovis

Page two of this document has a one page outline of the meet format and time standards. This information will also be posted on our website at: http://www.westernzoneswimming.org

Best of luck with the rest of your season!If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at: drawzb@mhcc.edu.
