Awards/Ribbons
DUAL MEETS (Regular Season / 2 Teams)
* Every individual swimmer that places 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th in an event
will get the corresponding ribbon.
* Every relay team member that places 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in a relay will get the
corresponding ribbon.
* Every six and under swimmer that finishes 1st in their heat will get a
"heat winner" ribbon.
* Every six and under swimmer that does NOT place 1st-6th will get a "super
swimmer" ribbon.
PRELIMINARY MEETS (Prelims)
* NO RIBBONS OR MEDALS ARE AWARDED FROM PRELIMS
This meet sets up the heats for Championships. So how your swimmer
performs here will determine which heat they swim in during the Championships
Meet.
There are two heats created for Championships from Prelim results. If your
swimmer finishes 1st-6th in Prelims, they will be in the medal heat for
Championships, and will get a medal if they complete that race. If your
swimmer finished 7th-12th in Prelims, they will be placed in the ribbon heat
for Championships, and will get a ribbon if they complete that race.
Important to know, if your swimmer is in the ribbon heat, and has a time
that beats a swimmer in the medal heat, THEY WILL NOT GET A MEDAL. Only
swimmers in the medal heat will be awarded a medal. So, bottom line is
encourage your swimmer to swim their fastest in Prelims, and not wait for
Championships to swim their best.
