2026 WCD 3 / SWD 4 Championships
The Survivor Round. Win or Go Home. The final step on the road to Mount Tahoma.
Survive and Advance
The 2026 West Central District 3 / SWD 4 Championships is the most intense meet of the year. There are no medals for times here—only for placement. Athletes from the 4A and 3A classifications battle for the coveted allocations to the State Championship.
Russell Moore Photography will be on-site capturing the raw emotion of the "Golden Ticket" moments—the joy of qualifying and the heartbreak of the 9th place finish.
PHOTO UPDATE: Full galleries will be posted here within 48 hours of the meet conclusion.
