Atention high school Juniors and Seniors! The NCAA has adopted new legislation that will require prospects who intend to enroll at NCAA Division I and Division II institutions to supply ACT or SAT scores to the Clearinghouse directly from the testing agencies. Test scores on an official high school transcript will no longer be usable for NCAA purposes. Start now and plan to have your ACT and SAT scores sent to the Clearinghouse (via code "9999") so that your certification decision will not be delayed. For more details consult the NCAA's website at www.ncaa.org or call the Clearinghouse. This change in legislation will impact anyone who has previously registered with the Clearinghouse and intends to enroll in fall 2007 or later. If your record has been posted with scores from an official high school transcript, these scores will be removed and it will be necessary for you to comply with this new rule

Drug Control
Many of our senior athletes have reached a level of competition at which
they will be subject to drug testing under the supervision of USA Swimming,
the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, and the World Anti-Doping Agency. This summer,
random in-competition testing will take place at the Open Water Nationals,
National Championships, and the Junior Nationals. It is necessary that you
as parents see to it that your child is not taking any medications that may
cause him or her to have a positive test and be restricted from competition. Even the most seemingly benign medications need to be checked! Please
view the link below. Let's prevent an unfortunate mistake from happening to
our kids! If you have any questions- do not hesitate to ask myself or Stacy
Michael at 719 866-4962.
