NCAA D3 Championships: Meet Officials

by

Hello NCS Officials!

The Meet Referee for the NCAA D3 Championships has reached out to North Carolina Swimming looking for officials to volunteer to help out on deck during the meet which will be at the GAC, March 16-19.  See timeline below:

NCAA D3 Championships Timeline of Meet Events

Specifically, we have been asked to assist in finding 8-10 officials per session, prelims and finals that will be the lead timer on a lane and also be the relay take off judge for the same lane during relay events.

This is a great opportunity to be on deck at a high level meet with fast swimming!  If you have an interest in volunteering at this meet, please contact Keith Beckett at Kbeckett@wooster.edu as he is coordinating the officials for this meet.  He can let you know about dress code, shirts, arrival times, etc.

See you soon on deck!
