MCHS Swimmers Head to State Swim Meet

When it comes to high school swimming it doesn’t matter whether your school has 100 students or 5000 students, if you are dedicated enough, good enough, and fast enough, you’re given an opportunity to swim against everyone else at the state championships. For the Meade County High School Swim Team this is not an easy task, as they compete against team that have their own pool facilities that allow them to swim twice a day and a weight room to build the muscle needed to be faster at their disposal. Meade swimmers have to use a pool that’s located 20 miles away on a Military installation where they can’t just show up to work out on their own. Therefore, Meade must work harder, and swim faster if they want to be one of the top 32 swimmers that qualify to participate in the KHSAA State Swim Meet. In order to qualify, swimmers must come in either first or second at their regional meet to receive an automatic bid to qualify to compete at state. The top two finishers from each of the nine regions receive automatic bids. The other eighteen qualifiers receive an “at-large” bid based on their times at regions.
