State Finals Summary

 

Late Points Secure Carmel’s 17th Consecutive State Championship

Carmel’s depth, as it has for years, once again came into play in the 29th Annual IHSAA Girls Swimming & Diving State Finals, Friday and Saturday, February 14-15, 2003 at the Indiana University Natatorium in Indianapolis.

Though the Greyhounds trailed by three points heading into the second to last event -- the 100 breaststroke -- the fact that current leader North Central of Indianapolis didn’t have a participant in the event proved to be a deciding factor. Carmel on the other hand had two individuals, one each in the championship and consolation heats. Erin Sparks and Meaghann Fisher combined for 27 points in the event , one that Sparks would claim honors in, and Carmel would go on to claim its 17th consecutive state championship, which continues to be the longest streak in IHSAA sports history.

Carmel, coached by Ken Stopkotte for its last three titles, finished with 277 points followed by North Central with 259, the fourth year in a row the Panthers finished in the two spot. Munster finished third with 207 points, Columbus North was fourth with 199 and Hamilton Southeastern was fifth at 177.

The Greyhounds grabbed the lead right off the bat winning the 200 medley relay in 1:47.27. It was the 16th time in the last 17 years Carmel had won the opening event. Helping their cause were second place finishes to North Central in the other two relay events. The two neighboring schools combined to win seven of the 12 events during the day.

Two records fell during the meet, including the oldest mark on the chart.

North Central senior Julie Broms scored 477.00 points in winning the one meter diving competition and bettered the long-standing mark of 473.30 set by Dana Wiegand of Franklin back in 1982. Last year’s champion, Kari Retrum of Hamilton Southeastern, placed second with 459.05 points.

South Dearborn senior Katie Robinson set the other record in the 100 butterfly. Robinson touched in a time of :54.64 bettering her own mark of last year by .03 of a second. It was the third straight year she had won the event and set the record at the same time.

Robinson also defended her 50 freestyle crown from a year ago finishing first in :23.15, which was .08 faster than her winning time of 2002. She ends her high school career with six championship medals, including the 100 freestyle as a freshman in 2000.

In addition to Robinson, two others – North Central’s Susan Hentschel and Columbus North’s Leah Retrum -- won two events a piece.

Retrum won the 500 freestyle for the fourth consecutive year, just the second individual to accomplish the feat in that event. Retrum clocked in just .05 of a second off her state meet record of last year in 4:46.13. Earlier in the meet, she won her third consecutive crown in the 200 individual medley in 2:01.50. All told, she finishes her career with eight state titles, including a 200 medley relay win in 2001.

Hentschel, a senior, won perhaps the most exciting event of the day edging Carmel sophomore Taylor Baughman by .01 of a second at the wall in the 100 freestyle in :50.47. Earlier, Hentschel captured her second championship in three years in the 200 freestyle in a time of 1:50.33. Teammate Christine Shehorn finished third in 1:51.45 after the pair entered the event as the top two seeds following Friday’s prelims. For her career, Hentschel finished with a total of nine state championship medals. Besides the 100 and 200 free, she was a part of four straight winning 200 freestyle relay teams as well as two of the last three 400 freestyle relays.

Fort Wayne Snider senior Erin Morris also returned to win the 100 backstroke for the second straight year completing the course in :55.32.

Following the meet, Robinson was named winner of the 2003 IHSAA Girls Swimming Mental Attitude Award by the IHSAA Executive Committee. The annual award is presented to the outstanding senior in the state finals competition.  The recipient, who was nominated by her principal and coach, must excel in mental attitude, scholarship, leadership and athletic ability in swimming and diving.

Robinson is the daughter of Dr. Harley and Jascia Robinson of Dillsboro.

Farm Bureau Insurance, IHSAA corporate sponsor, presented a $1,000.00 scholarship check to South Dearborn High School in the name of Katherine “Katie” Robinson.

A total of 3,539 athletes from 230 schools began competition at the sectional level.
