As timed finals would be under 5 hours. Timeline for prelims was about four hours, then add back in the relays.

If they start at 9am on Friday, what time will they finish? I don't know how long this meet normally takes.

If they have to be done by 6pm, what options do they have?

I understand those that aren’t in FCPS but why are some FCPS kids getting timed final on Friday and others get two shots with prelims and finals? FCPS is ridiculous. Most of these kids have been out past 6 all week and if parents don’t want their teen on the road then the parents can drive.

Which districts are doing both?

Timed finals for all districts Friday morning.

Is this your prediction or have you officially heard this?

The PP said they have to be done by 6 pm, so it makes sense to assume they’d have to get it done early to fit it all in.

Ugh - is this published anywhere? We have doctors appts and work Friday morning. It would be nice if they would get notification out. Instead we got same vague email from the coach more worried about kids attending practice tomorrow in order to be eligible for districts due to VHSL rules.

Anyone heard anything about Liberty district?

So FCPS is normally ok with meets at 830 at night (if they go on time) and kids being done around 1030. Add in bus time and some don’t even get back to 11pm….

Road conditions.

They are ok with this provided there are not hazardous driving conditions (just using their logic - not trying to defend any decision making)
