FORMAT CHANGE: We are excited to announce that we have broken the all-time attendance record for the Husky Invitational.  For a meet that began in the 1940s and has survived into its 8th decade, this is quite an accomplish–we sincerely thank you for your support and participation.  It also means that we will be moving to a two-pool format for prelims.  We will finalize these plans in the coming days, but we are tentatively planning on running odd heats in one competition pool and even heats in another.  This will enable us to give everyone ample time between prelims and finals to rest for an exciting session of swimming each evening!
