Carmel senior-to-be Amy Dilk will be staying in blue after high school.
The Greyhound basketball star announced on her Twitter account Thursday that she has committed to continue her career at the University of Michigan. Dilk has been a force in Carmel basketball since beginning high school, starting in her very first game as a freshman.
Now, she will be joining a Wolverines team that is coming off a record-breaking season and a victory in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) championship game.
Dilk, a 5-10 point guard, was last season’s Hamilton County Girls Basketball Player of the Year after leading the ‘Hounds to a 23-4 record and a second consecutive appearance in the Kokomo Regional championship game. Dilk did a little bit of everything, averaging 14.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.
The Wolverines finished last year with a 28-9 mark and won a dramatic WNIT final, beating Georgia Tech 89-79 in three overtimes. Michigan will be relatively young again this year, although they graduated an all-timer in Siera Thompson, who was only the second Wolverine player to reach 1000 points, 500 assists and 400 rebounds.
Michigan has been a consistent winner over the past decade, having won at least 20 games every year beginning with the 2012-13 season. The Wolverines have played in either the WNIT or the NCAA tournament in nine of the last 10 post-seasons.
