CSP Tideriders wins their Fourth Straight Ozark Division I Championship

Mark Imig

This years Ozark Division I Champs was different than in years past.  This year, it was a virtual meet, and while all of Ozark was invited to participate, 10 teams took the call to compete.  Teams were given the chance to race from February 5th – February 28th.  They could run a USA Sanctioned Meet, run a meet at practices with watch times, or use times from their swimmers who may have competed at Girl’s State.  CSP took the opportunity to do all three and it paid off!  To view the results, click here.
