Shelbyville swimming sets two Shelby Relays meet records

Shelbyville High School’s girls swim team did not have the depth to compete for the team title Saturday in the Shelby Relays, but did have the talent to win three events and set two meet records.

Columbus East edged out Pendleton Heights, 118-112, to capture the Shelby Relays’ girls team title. Yorktown was third at 100 points. Mt. Vernon (88) was fourth ahead of Shelbyville (78), Chatard (64) and Batesville (62).

The Golden Bears’ speed was on full display in the 100-yard freestyle relay. Karissa Hamilton, Miriam Garringer, Jordan Tobler and Marlee Rice (photo) won the event in a Shelby Relays record 49.14 seconds – nearly four seconds faster than runner-up Columbus East (53.13).

 

 

Rice, Garringer and Hamilton (photo) also set a Shelby Relays record in winning the 150 backstroke relay. The trio’s time of 1:27.94 was nearly a full six seconds faster than Columbus East’s time of 1:33.93.

Shelbyville also took first place in the 375 freestyle relay, or crescendo relay (25-50-100-200). Tobler, Rice, Hamilton and Garringer touched the wall first in 3:45.8. Pendleton Heights was runner-up (4:06.3).

The same Golden Bears quartet also was runner-up in the 400 freestyle relay (3:59.04).

Mt. Vernon collected the Shelby Relays’ boys team title with a two-point victory over Yorktown, 122-120.

Columbus East (94) was third ahead of Chatard (80), Shelbyville (76), Batesville (70) and Pendleton Heights (70).

The Golden Bears’ best finish came in the 150 butterfly. Will Rife, Tyler Harker and Juan Gonzalez-Gallego stopped the clock in 1:17.07 -- .68 behind the winning time of 1:16.39 set by Mt. Vernon.

Shelbyville also had four third-place finishes.

Harker, Gonzalez-Gallego and Rife teamed with Trey Carrell to finish third in the 400 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay.

Gonzalez-Gallego and Harker placed third in the 1,000 freestyle relay.

Tristin Maloney, Lance File, Michael Fox and Rife finished third in the 200 freestyle relay.

Shelbyville returns to the pool Tuesday at East Central.
