9. 2016 Speedo Sectional Championships at WSAC July 21-24 - The meet is a regional championship with a long history.  WSAC was the host site annually for the meet’s predecessor - Midwest Sr Championships until the U of MN built it’s pool in 1990.  Schroeder has hosted the meet since then but the last time was in 2008.  It is the highest level competition that the WSAC can reasonably host and Senior swimmers from WI, IL, MN, IA, ND & SD participate.  It is both an honor and an opportunity to host these Championships and it is challenging technically and requires an organization like ours to pull it off successfully.
