Due to winter weather in both states, Oklahoma and Virginia had to move their state championships originally scheduled for February 21-22. Both states have now announced their new dates and locations for the events.
For the Sooner State, the 5A and 6A class of championships have been moved to February 24th and 25th. The meets will remain at the Jenks Aquatic Center in Tulsa. They will continue to be in a prelim-final format. 6A will have prelims the morning of the 24th and finals the 25th, while 5A will swim both afternoons in the same format.
