Jacksonville’s Bolles School Sharks Consistently Ranks Among Top High School Teams In The Nation<\/span><\/h1>\n
By Andy Ross<\/span><\/p>\n
Since Swimming World first began recognizing the top high school teams in the country in 1971,
\nThe Bolles School of Jacksonville, Fla., has won 18 national prep school titles\u201410 boys\u2019, eight girls\u2019. <\/strong><\/p>\n
When Gregg Troy arrived on deck at the Bolles School in the fall of 1977, he had five swimmers at his first team meeting. The girls\u2019 team was coming off a state title the season before, and the boys were national prep school runners-up.<\/p>\n
But the team was heavily hit by graduation, and Troy had little to work with in his first season.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe headmaster when he hired me said, \u2018Before you take this job, I want you to understand you\u2019re not getting into what you think you\u2019re getting into,\u2019\u201d Troy said.<\/p>\n
Bolles had a history of being really good, but the team was at a bit of a standstill. The boys had won four straight state titles in the 1950s, but didn\u2019t win again until 1972.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a unique dynamic where the headmaster hired me directly, and he understood what we were trying to do. He gave me pretty much a free hand to do it, and that might be the most important thing. If your administration doesn\u2019t have the same vision you have, you\u2019re in trouble. His vision was they had been good, and he wanted them to continue to be good, but they weren\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
In order to build the high school team into a power again, Troy focused on building the club team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe started the club from scratch, but there was a little age group program that swam at that school called the Southside Sharks that was run by Tom O\u2019Hara, a real fantastic age group coach. So what we did was put the two together\u2014I took the high school kids and changed the name from Southside Sharks to the Bolles Sharks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Troy had developed a reputation in the state of Florida for really working his athletes, and a number of his swimmers from Fort Myers relocated to Bolles. In 1979, the girls won their second state title\u2014the first under Coach Troy\u2014and two years later, the boys achieved their first state title for Troy (and sixth since 1951).<\/p>\n
Bolles was again becoming a powerhouse in Florida…and the success became contagious.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce we started to have success, and the school had a tradition for it, then we started to attract some people to the dorms. The first year, I got lucky and had some really good high school guys join the club team.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 1983, Bolles swept the state titles, with the girls claiming their first Swimming World national prep school title the next year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe people who got better were the ones that worked the hardest,\u201d Troy said. \u201cThe swimmers started believing, \u2018If I want to be good, I better work hard.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a situation where people came to Jacksonville to swim because they were looking for the challenge. They weren\u2019t looking for an easy way, and we had established the program in town off challenge. The challenges and aspirations were to be the very best we could be, and the school had that academic reputation, so it permeated from the people you were working with: there was a real goal to be good.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bolles girls repeated as national champions in 1985, while the boys had won six state titles in 10 years in the 1980s.<\/p>\n
Bolles had been attracting swimmers from around the world, as international students could move to Jacksonville and stay in the dorms while attending Bolles, a precursor to what they would experience in college. By 1988, Bolles had started a state championship streak that has yet to be broken, while the girls have not lost since 1991.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen (the state meet) was moved to the fall, that created the dynamic where the state meet became a stepping stone,\u201d Troy said. \u201cThe whole thing wasn\u2019t based around winning championships\u2014it was based around personal improvement. How good could you be?<\/p>\n
\u201cWe get that all wrong sometimes. The personal improvement is where the championships come from.<\/p>\n
