Meridian has been using the information provided by the Williamson County and Cities Health District (WCCHD) to guide our decisions for Athletics. As of 11/19/20, WCCHD reported that the County is in the Red / Uncontrolled Community Spread phase, which is characterized by very high community transmission. Due to the fact that athletics are an extracurricular activity, Meridian has suspended indoor sports, with the potential for cancellation, until further notice. We are still hopeful that our outdoor Spring Sports will operate as planned, which means that our Fall and Winter Sports seasons will need to conclude by the scheduled end date. We will update the participants of our Fall Sports with the expected implications to the remainder of their season by Friday, November 27th.
Fall Swimming
It is the intent for Fall Swimming to begin September 23rd if in Phase II/Yellow by September 14th. The interscholastic competitions that we normally participate in are UIL meets. Because of Covid-19, UIL is limiting the number of participating schools in each meet and Meridian is unable to participate. Therefore, this year’s swim seasons will be conditioning and intramural only.
Overview:
Practice Information:
Participant Information:
Fees: The limited practice times are designed to keep cost low so that the value of intramural swimming is commensurate with the fee to our families.
Competitions: Intramural only.
