I'm still waiting on the official list from the league, but I do have enough information to post a preliminary version for our team. This is built from the initial results, with my notes from the seeding meeting incorporated.

This is also linked from the "Schedule" page on our web site.
- Are these all the meet results?
No -- just the top finishers in the events from our team. The full and final results are on their way. The delay is driving me crazy, too.
I'm 99.44% sure that this is an accurate list of qualifiers from our team, subject to the standard disclaimers about how CYO is all-volunteer, supposed to be fun, and not the Olympics.
- What does "Alt 1", "Alt 2" and "Alt 3" mean?
This indicates the first, second, and third alternate in an event. If one of the scheduled athletes or relay teams is not able to make the event, we will fill their lane with the first alternate (Alt 1). If there are two openings, then first and second alternates will be placed, and so on.
Assignment of first, second, or third alternate is done by a complex algorithm that juggles openings among the three meets that were held on Saturday. It's not a reflection of your athlete's performance, their character, their families, or coaches. A fourth-place finisher at our meet may still be the third alternate for the Sectionals.
Alternates are not guaranteed to compete.
At the seeding meeting, we moved some alternates up into regular competition already. Some of our relay teams benefited from this move.
Per league rules, athletes who competed in more than three individual events got cut from their last event, which also affected the list of qualifiers.
Athletes may drop from an event over the course of the week for a variety of reasons. If we know about this in advance, an alternate may find themselves slotted in to a race before Saturday. Keep checking when we get the full results up. Otherwise, alternates will get placed in a race (or not) at the meet.
- Wait! I still have a million questions!
And I have a novel-length newsletter waiting in the wings to answer them. The immediate things to think about are:
* If your athlete qualified in the 1600m, I'll see you Friday evening at DVC
* If they are in another event, I'll see you early Saturday at Granada High in Livermore
* Relay team members should alert your coach at once if you can't make it on Saturday
