Each year, Seton Swimming takes qualifying swimmers and divers to the National Catholic High School Championship meet at Loyola University of Baltimore. Because this meet has a qualifying standard that must be met in order to earn the right to swim at the meet, we generally go to Baltimore with just our “A” Relays and several individual qualifiers.
This year, the meet is on Saturday January 14 and Sunday January 15, 2023. The format will be very similar to prior years with the following sessions:
- Girl’s Preliminaries – Saturday morning
- Boy’s Preliminaries – Saturday afternoon
- Girl’s Diving – Saturday evening
- Boy’s Diving – Sunday morning
- Boy’s and Girl’s Finals – Late Sunday morning and afternoon

As you can see, this is a very fast meet, particularly on the boy’s side. Here are our entries and the Psych Sheet. I’ve altered the relays a bit based on our January 7th meet results, and I plan to look at them one more time before we submit relay cards.

The beautiful house on St. Paul Street that we have used for the team in prior years has been reserved by someone else, so I got two (2) AirBnB houses for the trip – one for boys and one for girls.
- Here is the Boy’s House at 1505 East Baltimore Street, Main house, Baltimore, MD 21231
- Here is the Girl’s House at 325 E 22nd St, Baltimore, MD 21218, USA
Last year the meet was live-streamed, so I’d expect the same this year. It won’t be anything like our Seton livestream, but at least you’ll be able to watch it from home.
More information soon!
