A total of 239 schools are entered as the 35th Annual IHSAA Girls Swimming & Diving Tournament Series gets underway Thursday afternoon, Feb. 5, with sectional preliminary heats at 20 sites around the state. Diving prelims and semifinals start Saturday morning, Feb. 7, at each site with consolations and finals in each event scheduled for later in the day.
All first place swimming event winners in each sectional will advance to the state meet along with any participant who equals or betters the state time standard in that event’s consolation or championship heat. The next fastest times in each event also will qualify in order to bring the field to 32 entrants. The top four divers at each sectional will advance to one of four diving regionals slated for Tuesday, Feb. 10, with the top eight advancing to the state meet. This year’s state finals are set for Feb. 13-14 at the Indiana University Natatorium in Indianapolis.
Looking ahead to next week’s state finals, top-ranked Carmel will be chasing its 23rd consecutive state championship which would set a new national high school record in girls swimming and diving. Currently, the Greyhounds share the mark of 22 with Punahou High School of Honolulu, HI which won 22 straight from 1974-95.
Results from each sectional site will be posted to the IHSAA website as they become available this weekend. State finals heat sheets will be available beginning Sunday, Feb. 8. Diving regional results and the order of participants for the state meet will be posted on Wednesday, Feb. 11.
