Thirteen Hamilton County swimmers received callbacks to the state swim meet over the weekend.
The list includes Hamilton Heights junior Rachel Sanqunetti, who will compete in the backstroke event. Sanqunetti’s time was fast enough to fill the 32-woman field in that event after all the sectional champions and state cut times were placed. Sanqunetti is seeded 21st in the backstroke.
Fishers has the most callbacks with five. The Tigers got two additional swimmers into the 200 freestyle race: Sophomore Abigail Jahns and junior Morgan Booth. They will join sophomore Hannah Pratt, who won the 200 free at the Hamilton Southeastern sectional on Saturday. Pratt is seeded sixth.
Sophomore Corinne Yorkman earned two callbacks, in the individual medley and backstroke while junior Kara Robeson got a place in the butterfly event. The Tigers will now have 16 swims at state.
Hamilton Southeastern got three callbacks. Sophomore Kayleigh Witt has a place in the 200 free, while freshman Olivia Harter earned a spot in the IM. Harter joins her sister, sophomore Olivia Harter, and junior Hannah Pugh in the event. Senior Victoria Vicory also is in, with a place in the breaststroke, bringing the total of Royals swims to 15 at state.
Noblesville’s two callbacks are both freshmen: Sammy Huff made it in the IM, while Caitlin Marshall has a place in the 500 free, where she will be the 17th seed.
Westfield also has two callbacks, both in the relay events. The Shamrocks made it in the 200 free and 400 free relays. The Millers will now have six swims at state, with Westfield getting five.
Carmel qualified all 27 of its swims to state during Saturday’s sectional finals.
All the state swimmers will begin their competitions at the preliminary round, which begins at 6 p.m. Friday at the IUPUI Natatorium. The top 16 advance to the finals, which start at 1 p.m. Saturday.
