We had our largest attendance at this annual meet with 90 entries. Teams represented Central, East and West Valley of the Sun. We initiated a new event similar to the NCAA team event. We had 6 teams participate. The coaches favored team competition over Synchro as it offered more teams an opportunity to participate. We also awarded combined event champions.
