The Hamilton County Reporter has named two Carmel swimmers, sophomore Alex Shackell and freshman Molly Sweeney, as its 2023 Girls Swimmers of the Year.
Shackell is already halfway through an amazing career for the Greyhounds, adding four state championships to her total during last weekend’s state meet. Shackell set new state records in winning the 50 freestyle (21.93 seconds) and butterfly (50.89 seconds), then was part of national record setting relay teams: The medley relay (1:36.98) and the 200 free relay (1:30.23).
Sweeney joined Shackell on both of those winning relays, then won two individual state championships of her own. Sweeney was first in the individual medley (1:56.82) and the breaststroke (59.78 seconds), making her the first freshman to go 4-for-4 at the state meet since Carmel’s Claire Adams in 2013.
