Carmel won its ninth straight state championship, winning five of the 11 swim events. The Greyhounds finished with 363 points and Zionsville finished as the runner up for the second straight year, tallying 257. Senior Aaron Shackell was the Greyhounds’ standout, with individual wins in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle races and as part of the victorious 200 medley and 400 free relay teams. Carmel’s 200 medley relay team of Sean Sullivan, Brandon Malicki, Shackell and Michael Gorey kicked off the meet with the program’s sixth straight championship in the event, winning in 1:27.83. Shackell made up more than two seconds as the third leg to help Carmel overtake Zionsville’s early lead. Shackell followed by winning the 200 freestyle in convincing fashion, finishing in 1:33.68. That was just off his record 1:32.85 set in Friday’s preliminaries when he bested the national mark of 1:32.99 and beat the 1:33.30 state mark set by former Greyhound Drew Kibler. “It was really special, especially with Drew being (at the race),” Shackell said. “He and I have worked together for the last six months or so and we’ve talked about it a little bit.” Shackell added a win in the 500 free, finishing in 4:15.38 ahead of runner-up teammate Gregg Enoch (4:20.40). Shackell anchored Carmel’s 400 free relay to close the meet, with the Greyhounds winning in 2:59.52. Sean Sullivan was the other Carmel winner, becoming the first Greyhound to repeat as champion of the 100 free. “Last year, when I was swimming that race, I felt really confident going in,” Sullivan said. “My strokes were hitting and everything was perfect. This year, I came in and the first day I didn’t have a great meet. Coming into today, I wasn’t feeling sure. I just did the right things in warmup and got myself prepared and it turned out my favor in the end.” An emotional Carmel coach Chris Plumb noted his team’s resiliency this season after the death of junior teammate Michael Jent in a January car accident. Carroll (150) finished third in the team scoring followed by Fishers (148) and Indianapolis North Central (130).
