[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how these teams fill their B meet schedules.  We are an upper mid level team that does a B meet every year with one of the top 3. They are not nearly as obnoxious as they are at the all star meets of course but still lack the good sportsmanship of our other B meet partners. It’s also difficult for us to host their massive team every other year. There is always talk of us replacing them with someone else but I guess we keep them out of geographical convenience [/quote]

What are their kids specifically doing at a B meet that shows lack of good sportsmanship?  I have timed against Overlee at a B meet and saw their kids shake hands on either side of the lane at the end of each race.  Wait in the lane until everyone is finished.  Friendly and polite to the timers when they walk up.  Zero smack talking while lining up.  (Which I've never heard from any team really.)  For an entire meet.  The Overlee parents I timed with were friendly.  Just a normal B meet.

I think it's unfair to come on here and not be specific and offer generalities.

I do think their big team (and there are others with big teams) make the meets long.[/quote]

Go to one of their A meets and find out for yourself [/quote]
