Hurricane Isaias is bearing down on the Gulf Coast and has impacted at least one swim meet this weekend.<\/p>\n
The Florida State-hosted Seminole Fall Classic in Tallahassee, Florida, will operate on a modified schedule due to anticipated weather impacts.<\/p>\n
Other teams scheduled to compete include Georgia Tech, Iowa State (women), and Purdue. The Florida State men are ranked #24 in the preseason SwimSwam Power Rankings, while Purdue is ranked #22 mostly on the strength of their diving team. The Purdue women are ranked #25, also on the strength of their diving program.<\/p>\n
The Friday session, which was scheduled for 7PM Eastern Time, has been moved earlier to 11AM. The meet is expected to continue as schedule at 10AM Eastern Time on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
A pre-meet tailgate party that was scheduled for Friday evening has been canceled.<\/p>\n
Hurricane Isaias is currently a Category 1 storm, but is expected to strengthen before making landfall late Friday evening or early Saturday morning. Current projections have it on target to land somewhere between Alabama and the Florida panhandle. While Tallahassee is likely to avoid a direct hit in current projections, it is expected to be hit by severe weather.<\/p>\n
