TIGERS DOWN ONE SPOT IN RANKINGS

The Yorktown Tigers have dropped one spot in the girls rankings released today by the Indiana High School Swim Coaches Association (IHSSCA). The ladies head into the Thanksgiving break at #16, with 27 rating points. The rankings are based on a theoretical State Meet scored through 16 places, based on times REPORTED to IHSSCA. Not every team reports the results of every meet, a factor that skews how teams are rated.

In fact, that phenomenon impacts Yorktown in this week's poll. IHSSCA ranks Yorktown #12 in the 200 Medley Relay (1:57.76 at the Westfield Invitational), when the Tigers' best time (1:56.42 at Lawrence North) would put them #11 in more accurate rankings.

The same holds true in the 400 Yard Free Relay. IHSSCA puts YHS at #16, based on their 3:59.47 at Westfield on Saturday. The Tigers' 3:48.90 two days earlier at LN would be good enough to move up five places to #11, ahead of powerful Center Grove.

The Tigers have also crept into the rankings in the 200 Free Relay at #28.

Several Tigers continue to carry state rankings in their individual events. Senior Larah Beaver is currently #6 in the 100 Back and #12 in the 100 Free. Junior Jessica Extine is at #10 in the 50 Free and #21 in the 100 Fly. Fellow junior Caroline Grasso gives YHS TWO Top 20 members in the 100 Back rankings, landing at #19 today.

The Tiger girls are back in training, with their next meet scheduled for November 29th, when the boys join them in hosting Hoosier Heritage Conference rival Delta.

GO TIGERS!
