8 gives everyone who has more than 6 an option anyway. If it's too tiring or want to focus on certain events then just don't sign up for that many.

While I only swim 3 individual events per champ meet in college, 8 events toughens you up. Keep it

The kids need the opertunity to swim the 8 events. They work hard to maximize their efforts. This is for the kids future development in the sport of swimming.

If they can qualify they should be allowed to swim. The kids work so hard to make these Qual times, we shouldn't limit their opportunities.

I agree with going back to 8 events. For some swimmers who qualify for all distances in all strokes, it is already hard to choose which ones to scratch. We work really hard all year and Hawaii needs to continue to keep competitive standards.

What if Michael Phelps was not allowed to break Mark Spitz Olympic record because we were trying to be fair to the rest of the competition. The world has gone soft and not embracing Heros that we need to strive for excellence. Put your time in and gain your reward. Life isn't easy so work hard for your return.

Is Bernis Sanders in charge of the LSC? Should all the kids get to go to states? I should hope not, please keep the standards competitive.

Keep it at 8 and keep the time standards high. My athletes spend hours and hours every week in the pool, and also focus on cross training and eating well, all with the goal of making competitive state cut times. Changing the cut times to make it less competitive is not how the world works, and will not prepare our athletes to compete against mainland athletes when it comes to college scholarships. Making it to the state level *should* be challenging and hard to attain. Ms. Morton below had some very good points as well. Mahalo for listening.

I have 11 year old who will qualify for over 8 events and would love to race as many as possible as 6 makes for hard decisions plus more events will make meet more fullfilling, especially with cost of travel.
