RK Invitational Canceled, 2024
As a team, we have decided to cancel our attendance at the Randy Keinard Invitational.
Since we are canceling as a team, Reading YMCA will refund us (which is rare).
Reading YMCA is still holding the meet, but they expect a lower snow fall amount, turning to heavy rain throughout the night. Whereas for our area, it is expected to snow through midnight, turn to light rain, then possibly snow again at 7:00 am tomorrow. We expect 5-8 inches into Sunday morning with a mix of sleet, making the 1.5 hour drive in the morning difficult.
DO NOT attend tomorrow anyway as an individual swimmer; since we have canceled as a team, your swimmer will not be entered to compete, and there is no "unattached" designation in YMCA swimming.
Please know, it was gracious of Reading YMCA to offer a refund. Rarely does that happen. Host teams need to make decisions based upon their local conditions, and they cannot get into making exceptions for individual swimmers, or make it a common practice even for teams.
Have a nice Sunday and enjoy the snow, :)
Coach Drake
