The boys of Yorktown High School embark on their own post-season chase tonight, opening the Hamilton Southeastern Sectional with goals in mind, and some wild and crazy hair styles on their heads!
Head coach Brad Grieshop's guys looked like they failed a casting call for a Mr. T look-alike contest earlier this week! But watch out once they're shaved down, because some fast swims are likely on the way.
You can expect top notch performances out of the Tigers Fab Four tonight and Saturday. Senior Cameron Watters, juniors Michael Heavilon and Adam Voss, and sophomore Austin Dunn are all threats to either win their individual events or swim fast enough to qualify for the State Meet. Those four boys have led this team all season long, and the next 48 hours won't be any different.
Voss is the most likely to advance to advance to the State Meet. The Star Press in Muncie published a nice profile of Adam today, comparing him with his dad Pete, himself a stud swimmer for Muncie North "back in the day." Check out the "Voss is Boss" t-shirt in the stand at tonight's prelims.
The tournament is bound to be a bittersweet experience for Dunn, who will be swimming in his final meets as a Yorktown Tiger. Austin will be moving to Greenwood following this school year; many of us have watched him grow up in our little six-lane pool over the years, and it just won't feel the same without him splashing around. Good luck in the future, Austin. You'll be missed here, but you'll always be part of the Yorktown Swimming family, no matter where you are.
If you're making the trip down I-69 to HSE tonight, be loud and proud, and GO TIGERS!
