St. Mary's to Host Speedo Super Sectional

St. Mary's City, MD - The St. Mary's College of Maryland Athletics & Recreation Center Aquatic Center will once again host the Eastern Zone Super Sectional of the 2007 Speedo Championship Series, starting July 18 and ending July 22. Next weekend will mark the second time that St. Mary's has hosted this event. The College is expecting over 400 competitors and spectators to converge on the St. Mary's City campus as swimmers from Maine to Virginia come in hopes of qualifying for the 2007 Speedo National Championships to be held in Indianapolis, Ind., during the second weekend of August. Swimmers attending the sectional will range in age from 12 to early thirties, and the competitive field will be a fast-paced one as several national age-group records have been set in the past. The national caliber meet will showcase the rising stars of the pool, including future collegiate swimmers. The super sectional is great exposure for both competitors and spectators alike as families will be treated to the exciting, fast-paced world of swimming.
