Laura Henkel had a fantastic district meet. She was a major contributor to the WHS win. Her time in the 200 free was a 5 second drop and was the 24th best time in the state in the 200 free. Unfortunately she doesnt live in the central district. If she had lived in the Central District she would have qualified. An automatic qualifier from central district with the 42nd best time is going to state in her place. If you feel the urge to communicate with OHSAA, the following is the email address of the head of swimming rules and regulations: dmoore@ohsaa.org Obviously I will pursue this problem with the media and OHSAA but the more voices the better.
