There'll be at least one more anxiety-ridden, tossing-and-turning night for a lot of girl swimmers across Indiana tonight. Old Man Winter has reared his ugly head at just the wrong time, forcing postponements at 12 of the IHSAA's 20 Sectional sites this evening, including at Hamilton Southeastern.
That means everything bumps back a day for competitors at Avon, Chesterton, Crawfordsville, Crown Point, Franklin, Hamilton Southeastern, Jay County, Lafayette Jeff, Lawrence North, New Palestine, Noblesville and North Central. That means us, Yorktown.
As of this writing shortly after 3:00 p.m. EST, the preliminaries were still scheduled to begin tonight at Castle, Columbus North, Floyd Central, Ft. Wayne South, Jasper, Northridge, South Bend Riley and Warsaw.
Diving prelims are scheduled for Saturday morning across the state, with the activity on the boards starting at 9:00 a.m. at HSE. The finals in all 12 events at HSE are set to begin at 1:00 p.m.
So what happens to the schedule if the prelims still can't be held on Friday night? That's unclear, but Noblesville coach Rich Wolfred told the Indianapolis Star that the Sectional hosted by his school would likely move to a timed finals, Saturday-only format if that occurs. Cross your fingers that isn't necessary.
Pray for good weather and continued melting on roads and highways (ESPECIALLY I-69!), and we'll see you at HSE on Friday night.
GO TIGERS!
