The girls high school season is barely a week old across Indiana, and some future Yorktown High School opponents are off to fast starts.
Last Saturday's College Events Classic hosted by #1 Carmel included some very impressive swims for mid-November. Greyhounds' freshman phenom Lacey Locke served notice to the rest of the state's backstrokers that she'll be a force to be reckoned with this season. The multiple Indiana Age Group state champion blistered the water with a :56.34, taking first place in the 100-yard backstroke by nearly two seconds. Locke's time would have been good for 4th place at the 2009 IHSAA State Finals. Locke also won the 500-yard freestyle at Carmel in 5:08.94.
Senior Carly Mercer of Hamilton Southeastern (one of Yorktown's sectional rivals) was a double winner at the College Events Classic. The University of Arkansas recruit took the 100-yard freestyle in :51.85 and the 200-yard freestyle in 1:54.81.
Westfield senior Kait Flederbach was runner-up to Mercer in both races on Saturday. The Tigers will be getting a double dose of Flederbach soon. The defending IHSAA state champion in the 100-yard freestyle will lead the way as the Shamrocks host Yorktown and several other schools in the Westfield Invitational this Saturday. Yorktown gets another shot at Flederbach in a dual meet at Westfield two days after Thanksgiving.
And let's not forget "the region." Fifth ranked Chesterton won its season opener last week, beating beating Highland 149-34. Sophomore stud Olivia Kabacinski won the 100-yard freestyle (:51.96) and the 100-yard breaststroke (1:05.66) and swam on two victorious relay teams for the Trojans. Chesterton will be in the field at the upcoming Homestead Invitational in December.
