Re: To go to Championships...or not....

My concern is not the study time, it is the rest time. If you are traveling and don't get back home until late Saturday or Sunday morning (or even Sunday afternoon or evening) it will be hard to get your rest schedule back on track by Monday morning. I think that Chemistry, Enviro, Comp Sci and Spanish would be the most affected. Those are the Monday and Tuesday exams. I am sure that if we qualify for the Championships we will have to discuss this issue, as I am sure other teams will. Thanks for bringing it up.

Then again, as a personal matter this is an easier weekend for me, since it does not fall on the weekend of our big home track meet, which is also by far our biggest fund raiser for the track team. It is in the middle of the quarter for Ohio State, so it shouldn't be a problem for our mentors.
