Unedited report from Batesville coach Greg McMullen:
The Batesville high school men’s and women’s swimming programs participated in a three-way, meet against Milan high school and Oldenburg Academy on Thursday evening. Th meet was tightly contested on the men’s side between the Indians and the Bulldogs, nearly coming down to the final few races to determine the winner.
“We absolutely love coming to Milan,” commented Coach Greg McMullen. “The races are close, fun and our kids love the competition.’
This meet was a closely contested event on the men’s side with only an 8 point differential between the top two teams. Sean Callahan, Will Johnson and Benjamin Moster each came home with individual wins and second place finishes and that trio teamed up with Ciaran Tyrer and Joseph Shroder to wrap up victories in the Medley and 200 Free relays. Tyrer also helped out touch Milan’s 400 Free relay to secure a victory with Shroder, Zeke Obermeyer and Matt Tekulve, coming back from behind to win at a 0.33 differential.
On the women’s side, the Lady Bulldogs couldn’t quite breakthrough to earn a single event win, but came away with a slew of runner-up finishes. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to overcome the point deficit as Milan ran away with the meet.
“I’m at a loss of words from our performances today. Our ladies and gentlemen have worked really hard to get us here and were even more prepared to get up and go than any of us realized. Every swimmer was chomping at the bit to get on the blocks for the relays and see what they could do for their teammates.”
