Tiger Sharks take second at sectional

Monday, February 20, 2006

CRAWFORDSVILLE -- Greencastle's Andrew Bretscher was spectacular in winning the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyles Saturday and the Tiger Sharks added firsts with Mark Jedele in the 500 free and in the 400 free relay in the boys' swimming and diving sectional championship at Crawfordsville.

"It's the most points we've ever scored in a sectional," Greencastle coach Paul Bretscher said. "We swam as well as we could. They (Crawfordsville) had a little more than we did. I'm proud of the way we swam. We've come a long way this season."

The Tiger Cubs qualified in five events for the state championships on Friday and Saturday at the IUPUI Natatorium. Sectional event winners qualify automatically and Greencastle's 200 medley relay team made it as one of the 32 fastest times. The team of Bretscher, Dustin Wood, Mischa Serlin and Luke Crimmins also set a school-record with a time of 1:41.04, which seeded Greencastle 27th in Friday's preliminaries.

Greencastle has a potential sixth qualifier for the state in diver Patrick Rud, who was second in the sectional and advanced to Tuesday's regional at Zionsville.

Bretscher swam 20.90 seconds in the 50 free. It's the fastest time in the

state this year and he's the No. 1 seed going into the Natatorium. The senior

also broke the sectional and pool record of 21.13 from 2004.

Bretcher triumphed in an exciting duel with Crawfordsville's Jeremy Kline, who swam 21.37 and qualified for the state meet for being under the state standard of 21.07. Kline is seeded third in the state meet.

"We hope to see Andrew swim better in a week," Paul Bretcher said.

Greencastle outscored Crawfordsville in the 11 swimming events, 266-252.

The Athenians took first, third and sixth in the diving to score 37 points and Greencastle was second with Rud and 11th with Ben Fischer for 15. Bretscher took the 100 in 47.05 to set a Greencastle record. He's seeded second in the state.

Greencastle won the 400 free relay at 3:21.91 with a team of Jonathan

Barber, Crimmins, Jedele and Bretscher. The Tiger Cubs are seeded 29th in the state meet.

Jedele won the 500 in 5:05.07. He's seeded 32nd for Friday's prelims.

Greencastle also scored points with Jedele (third), William Dory (fifth) and Miles Salman (ninth) in the 200 free, Barber (fourth), Serlin (fifth) and Wood (eighth) in the 200 individual medley, Crimmins (sixth) in the 50 free, Gus Lidaka (seventh), Serlin (eighth) and Pete Edberg (12th) in the 100 butterfly, Barber (fifth) and Dory (10th) in the 100 fly, Nick Stevens (eighth) and Austin Woodall (11th) in the 500 free, a fourth in the 200 free relay, Crimmins (fourth), Anthony Paul (sixth) and Salman (10th) in the 100 backstroke and Lidaka (fourth) and Wood (fifth) in the 100 breaststroke.

North Putnam and South Putnam tied for 10th with 38 points in the 12-team competition.

North Putnam's Shawn Stout was fifth in the 100 butterfly and teammate Brian Rhoden was fifth in diving. The Cougars' relay teams were 11th in the 200

medley, 12th in the 200 free and ninth in the 400 free.

South Putnam's Cory McCallie was 10th in the 100 butterfly and 12th in

the 200 individual medley and teammates Adam McCulloch were ninth in diving. The Eagles' Brice Johnson was 11th in the 100 breaststroke. South Putnam's relay teams were eighth in the 200 medley, ninth in the 200 free and eighth in the 400 free.
