BSw RANKINGS: Munster, Michigan City on the move

The Indiana High School Swim Coaches Association (IHSSCA) has released its latest 2007-08 boys swimming poll, and Munster is this week’s biggest mover in jumping from 23rd all the way to No. 9. Michigan City is making waves as well, bumping up from 42nd to 20th.

Hamilton Southeastern maintains its status at No. 1, while North Central (Indianapolis) and Chesterton once again do the second-third swap as the Panthers move back into second and the Trojans drop to third. Carmel and Homestead are again steady at four and five.

Teams are listed by rank followed by school and number of votes. Rankings now include relays as well as the top returning times from last year’s state and sectional meets and the fastest reported times of the young season.
