The Yorktown High School boys swim team will open its 2009-10 season with high hopes--and a Top 10 ranking!
Head Coach Brad Grieshop's Tigers are number eight in the state in the pre-season rankings released by the Indiana High School Swimming Coaches Association. That position is a bit misleading, because the IHSSCA inadvertantly included the graduated Shay Daberko's times in compiling this season's poll. Munster carries Indiana's top ranking heading into 2009-10 after a state runner-up showing at last season's state meet. Defending state champion Chesterton (and Michigan recruit Kyle Whitaker) start the season number five.
Two Yorktown boys have earned pre-season rankings in their individual events, led by junior All-American Adam Voss. Voss holds a pair of rankings with the start of the boys season just a few weeks away, earning the 5th ranking in the 200-yard freestyle (1:42.67), and 7th in the 100-yard butterfly (:51.29).
Sophomore Austin Dunn joins Voss on the pre-season list of the state's best, ranking 14th in the 100-yard butterfly (:53.11).
Two other boys who scored at last season's Fishers sectional are back to provide quality and depth for this year's edition of the Tigers. Junior Michael Heavilon finished 5th in the 500-yard freestyle (5:05.80) and 9th in the 200-yard individual medley (2:06.24) and will look to improve on those finishes next February; Senior Cameron Watters was right on Heavilon's heels last season, taking 6th in the 500-yard freestyle (5:05.98) and 8th in the 100-yard backstroke (:56.69). Both should be major contributors this season.
The boys high school season in Indiana begins and ends two weeks after the girls, so Grieshop's boys won't have their first official practice until November 9th. Their schedule begins on November 28th, when the boys join the girls for a dual meet at Westfield.
