Sarasota Christian will host the 2026 Class 1A District 8 Championship Meet on Saturday October 31st at the Selby Aquatic Center, 8501 Potter Park Drive, Sarasota, FL 34238. The meet will begin with a warm up time at 9:30am and move into the timed finals competitions at 11:00am.

The Blazers have had a very successful 2026 season, culminating so far in the selection of Dru Hershberger to join USA Swimming's National Select Camp, in which she will join 52 girls from around the USA at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for 3 days this past weekend. Most recently, the Blazers had eight winning swims in a tri-meet with Booker and Lemon Bay and prior to that the team posted seven top three finishes in a tri-meet with Venice and Out-of-Door Academy. The Blazers will hope to follow up on last years district championship results in which Dru Hershberger, Mae Hershberger, Chloe Wozney, and Bella Fischer all advanced to the regional championship meet.
