INDIANAPOLIS â??? Top-ranked and defending boys swimming state champion North Central (Indianapolis) started off the 2005-06 season with a statement Nov. 26, posting a 153-25 victory over visiting No. 19 Columbus North.
The Panthers won every single event in the competition on their way to breaking two school records.
In fact, “school record!” was being shouted all around the deck as the 200-yard medley relay team of Michael Christy, Riley Boulden, Drew Sease, and Peter Jameson posted the schoolâ??s all-time best performance in their first competitive meet of the season with a mark of 1:35.36.
â??We wanted to start the season with a really good relay,â? said Jameson, who continued the record-breaking parade by posting North Central’s all-time best 100 butterfly time in 50.42 seconds (Greg Drake, 1987). â??Our goal was to break the school record, and we just went after it and we did it.
â??It really set up the stage for the rest of the meet and, hopefully, for the rest of the season.â?
Other outstanding performances came from Ted Minturn, who won the distance events (200 and 500 freestyle), and Chris Hall, who took the top spot in diving.
The Panthers will continue competition Nov. 29 when they host Warren Central.
