The 8th Annual Black Heritage Swim Meet held at the Triangle Aquatic Center in Cary, North Carolina!


The 8th Annual Black Heritage Swim Meet drew over 700 swimmers and Olympian, Cullen Jones, was there signing autographs as well. The meet was held at the Triangle Aquatic Center in Cary, North Carolina, on May 20th. Organizers were very happy with the event and they plan on bringing it back to the same venue next year. Below is a link to the... photo gallery. Gallery has been taken down. Here is a link to an article on the event.

I took five kids. This was a great and positive meet. Its a shame it didn't get more coverage. If there is any way to dispel some myth, this would have been it.

I am surprised it wasn't covered. :-(

Tony, we interviewed the meet director last year about the growth of the meet and the impact of having such people as Cullen attend. You can see the interview here: http://216.197.124.49/SwimmingWorld/MSS/20090522Cooper.wmv
