THE MEET:
The Mid States Championship meet is an “All-Star” meet for swimmers ages 14 & Under who compete as members of Team Indiana, Team Kentucky, Team Michigan, Team Minnesota, Team Ohio, or Team Wisconsin. Unlike the summer Central ZONE Championships where any athlete with a qualifying time can ENTER the meet, participation in Mid States involves a SELECTION process. There is a limit on the number of swimmers each team can enter in an event at Mid States.

NOTE: Boys currently in their freshman year of high school have been deemed ineligible to compete in this meet by the WIAA. The words "All Star" in the meet disqualify them from being able to compete, as it's not a meet eligible for everyone.

The top 4 individuals will be selected for each individual (with the exception of the 1650); A&B relays will also be selected from the times.
