[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OKM came in hot with their attitude last summer. Let them host.[/quote]

What happened? We had a B meet with them and they were lamenting having to move up, but they are really down to earth people. Maybe they just don’t fit in with the McLean elite? (Probably a good thing)[/quote]

It is WELL KNOWN that both OKM and Crosspointe were lobbying the NVSL to move them both up[/quote]

Absolutely FALSE.  OKM knew at a certain point that they would have to move up but they did not want to at all.  NVSL Boards wanted them to lose and kept pushing them up and they kept winning.[/quote]

⬆️ This. In fact, after the OKM-CP dual meet, volunteers, reps, coaches, and officials were hanging out trying to make arguments about why the other team should go up. CP argued that OKM won the dual meet. One week later, OKM argued that CP beat OKM at ASRs.

You have to also remember: Other than Langley, all the D2 teams that year were on the Burke/Clifton/Fair Oaks/Fairfax Station side of town. I did not hear anyone from OKM or CP indicate that he/she was raring to move up to D1 for the 2024 season.

So that’s the story. This summer (2025), at least OKM has the lion’s share of their top swimmers moving to the top of the age group, so while OKM won’t beat the top 3, and maybe won’t win any meets in D1 once again, they may be a bit more competitive than in summer 2024.

Anyway, no, in 2023, it did not seem like CP or OKM desired to drive to N Arlington and McLean almost every week, as we were certain those teams would not want to drive all the way out to us. We were happy with our neighbors in D2.[/quote]
