- Athletes have to compete for GSCY Storm in a minimum of three YMCA closed competition meets during the short course season (and prior to the NJ YMCA championship meet). YMCA invitational meets count as closed meets (i.e., dual meets, GMNY Harvest Haunt, RVY Spooky Sprints, GSCY Champions Classic, Westfield Devilfish Classic, HCY Autumn Challenge, Gobble Gobble, OCY Winter Classic and Candy Cane Classic).
