Carmel On Top: Boys’ National High School Champions

Indiana’s Carmel High School has long produced standout swim teams for both boys and girls, but the boys’ program has long lived in the shadow of the girls. That’s because Carmel’s girls have won an amazing 33 straight high school state championships, the longest streak in any high school sport in the United States. Nationally, Carmel has been recognized as the top overall girls’ high school team six times—including five straight years from 2013 to 2017—and the top public school team an additional five times.

For the boys, meanwhile, the school has previously produced an overall national championship team in 2004 and a public school title in 2017. This year, Carmel’s boys won Swimming World’s overall boys’ national high school championships again with a 157-144 victory over Cincinnati’s Sycamore High School. St. Xavier, also from Cincinnati, was the top independent school, scoring 97 points for fifth place overall.
