The US Bank boys’ state swimming and diving meet takes place today at the Albuquerque Academy Natatorium. The girls’ meet takes place Saturday at the same place, with the same times: Both meets start with diving, with warmups beginning at 11 a.m. and the first eight dives starting at 11:45. Swimming warm-ups run from 1:30-2:20 p.m., with the finals starting at 2:30.
Due to the nature of the event and limited space within the facility, spectators will be limited to two attendees per qualifying athlete. Information regarding the purchase of these special tickets will be distributed directly to school administration. (Tickets are available for purchase online only; no walk-up sales.) While inside the natatorium, face coverings will be required, and social distancing should be maintained.
