Hello team!

I've attached the psych sheet for you to see where your swimmer is at in the Conference lineup. It's purely informational. This is not a heat-sheet and some of the swimmers listed may not end up swimming so it's subject to change. I've added warm up times below and at the bottom of this email is the meet information sheet. If something changes with your ability to attend, I need to know ASAP. Let me know if you have any questions. 

I'm so happy so many of you made it to Conference! This is a big honor!
