WAC Swimming and Diving Thursday Evening Session Canceled
WAC Swimming and Diving Thursday Evening Session Canceled
UPDATED AT 9:15 PM CT
HOUSTON – A major water main break which has closed the University of Houston campus has forced the Western Athletic Conference to cancel Thursday's evening session and make adjustments to the Friday schedule of the 2020 WAC Swimming and Diving Championship.
After a vote of the coaches, it was decided to score Thursday's preliminary races as timed finals. In addition, because the UH campus will be closed again on Friday, further adjustments have been made to allow just student-athletes, coaches, staff and other essential personnel will be allowed in CRWC Natatorium for a single session, beginning at 10:30 a.m.
Friday's single session will include the 200 freestyle relays which were originally scheduled for Thursday night, as well as the men's 1-Meter and women's 3-Meter dive finals. The men's Platform dive, which was originally scheduled for Friday, will now take place on Saturday along with the women's Platform dive.
The WAC Digital Network will be broadcasting all of the swimming events of Friday's session, while the diving events will be on Facebook Live.
