LATEST RANKINGS PUBLISHED

The Indiana High School Swim Coaches Association has released its final swimming rankings of 2010. The Yorktown boys have moved up to 14th in the state as they head into the 2011 portion of their season. The Lady Tigers have slipped a bit--they find themselves in a three-way tie for 28th (with Lake Central and Penn).

Here's how the Top 20's shake out heading toward New Year's Day (teams from the Hoosier Heritage Conference and our Sectional fields are in bold):

Boys Top 20 Rankings--1. Carmel 218, 2. Bloomington South 160, 3. Northridge 151, 4. Munster 134, 5. Indianapolis North Central 133, 6. Chesterton 130, 7. Hamilton Southeastern 126, 8. Zionsville 122, 9. Westfield 107, 10. Homestead 103, 11. Castle 85, 12. Concord 77, 13. Franklin 54, 14. YORKTOWN 50, 15. Floyd Central 49, 16. Crown Point 45, 17. Jeffersonville 44, 18. Michigan City 41, 19. Terre Haute South 37, Carroll (Ft. Wayne) 36.

Girls Top 20 Rankings--1. Carmel 398, 2. tie-Center Grove and Homestead 183, 4. Chesterton 161, 5. Indianapolis North Central 125, 6. Zionsville 114, 7. Noblesville 110, 8. Munster 108, 9. Fishers 106, 10. Columbus North 87, 11. Mt. Vernon (Posey) 74, 12. Crown Point 65, 13. Concord 49, 14. Northridge 42, 15. Lawrence North 40, 16. McCutcheon 39, 17. Wawasee 34, 18. Plymouth 30, 19. Avon 29, 20. Twin Lakes 24.

If a lot of those names look familiar, there's a good reason for that--Yorktown swims a very tough regular season schedule. The boys have already faced four of the current Top 20, and they'll take on HSE in the first round of the IHSAA tournament. The impact is even more profound for the girls. The ladies from YHS have competed against six opponents in the current Top 20, with Fishers further down the road.

We'll be using the term "battle tested" to describe the Tigers when they take on some of the best teams in all of Indiana in February.

GO TIGERS!
