Regional swim sites announced

The Decorah swim and dive team will compete at the Linn-Mar regional.
The regional diving competition, which will also be held at Linn-Mar, is Thursday, Nov. 7. The champion from each regional site (a total of six), plus the next highest scoring 24 divers qualify for the state meet.
The swimming competition is Saturday, Nov. 9. Other teams at Dubuque Hempstead include Burlington, Davenport Central, Iowa City High, Iowa City West, Keokuk, Muscatine, Pleasant Valley and Tipton.
Throughout the season, individuals have been able to qualify for a spot at state early by swimming under the qualifying standard time set by the state in each event, rather than waiting until the regional meet. There will be a field of 32 state qualifiers, consisting of all swimmers who have met the qualifying standard (the swimmers must still compete in the event at the regional meet). Regional champions from each event will be automatic qualifiers with the rest of the field filled by the next fastest regional times of swimmers who did not meet the state standard.
State is held Friday and Saturday, Nov. 15-16, at the Marshalltown YMCA/YWCA. The swimming preliminary meet and diving competition takes place on Friday, Nov. 15 and the state swimming finals will take place on Saturday, Nov. 16.
