Charlotte Latin varsity swimmers captured state titles in five events and set new Charlotte Latin team records at the NCISAA swim meet on Monday, Feb. 22. Both the girls' and boys' teams finished third overall.
Lindsay Bosek, who has not lost an individual event in her high school career, won the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard freestyle events. She also was part of the 200-yard freestyle relay team (with Ashley Dyke, Caroline Higgins, and Meredith Summers) and the 200-yard medley relay team (with Ashley Dyke, Maggie Gardner, and Caroline Higgins), both of which finished second at the meet.
Bosek’s 50-yard freestyle time of 24.04 seconds was an All-American consideration time, a Junior National qualifying time, and a new Charlotte Latin team record. Bosek’s 100-yard freestyle time of 53.21 seconds broke Anna Steenrod’s old record of 53.46 seconds.
Ashley Dyke finished second in the 100-yard breaststroke.
Caroline Higgins finished in second place in the 100-yard backstroke and 100-yard butterfly. She finished the 100-yard backstroke in 57.71 seconds, breaking Amanda Noblet's Charlotte Latin team record of 58.99 seconds. Higgins' finish was an All-American consideration time. Higgins also was named to the USA Swimming Scholastic All-American Team, which honors excellence in the classroom and excellence in the pool.
Collin Higgins captured state titles in the 100-yard backstroke and 200-yard IM, and his two victories were automatic All-American qualifying times. Higgins set new Charlotte Latin team records in both events -- 50.15 seconds for the 100-yard backstroke (the old record was 52.48 seconds), and 1:54:02 for the 200-yard IM (the old record was 1:56:31). His 100-yard backstroke time was also a new NCISAA record.
Collin Higgins also was part of the 200-yard freestyle relay team (with Preston Griffith, William Gardner, and Obi Eruchalu) that won the state title, and the 200-yard medley relay team (with Michael Chadwick, Obi Eruchalu, and William Gardner) that finished second.
