Did everyone have a great holiday season? Take a moment to think about the local high school girl swimmers, for whom the phrase “winter break” frequently becomes an inconsistency.
Now, attention shifts to the OHSAA postseason occurring next month, with many local swimmers aiming to make an impression. The OHSAA state swimming and diving competitions are scheduled for Feb. 18 to 22 at C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton.
Curious about who to watch in the pool this winter? Here are eight swimmers from the Greater Akron region to keep on your radar:
Baylor is a powerhouse, which became apparent as she secured victory in the 200-yard individual medley and placed second in the 500 freestyle at the Suburban League National Conference meet on Saturday. Together with her efforts in Hudson’s relay squads, she is focused on the state finals in the IM.
Jackson may already be the top swimmer to have ever emerged from Hoban. Last winter, as a sophomore, she placed third in Division II in both the 50 and 100 freestyle. She is expected to contend for state titles in both sprint events next month.
Whenever Kaminski is in the pool, Nordonia tends to prevail. She secured four gold medals at the Suburban League meet, winning titles in the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke, while also guiding Nordonia’s 200 and 400 free relays. Kaminski aspires to conclude her high school journey with All-Ohio accolades in the 50 free and 100 back.
The freshman accomplished one of the most challenging “doubles” in high school swimming, winning both the 200 IM and 500 freestyle at the Suburban League American Conference meet. Freshmen can have an immediate impact in the postseason, and Kulick is determined to return Copley to state.
Hailing from one of Hudson’s esteemed swimming lineages, Sawicki is recognized for her prowess in freestyle, regardless of the distance. She secured the 100 freestyle title at the Suburban League meet. Additionally, she has been a cornerstone of Hudson’s relay teams at the state level since her freshman year.
Following their graduation losses from the prior year, Firestone will depend on this multi-time state participant to guide them. Schueler secured a spot at the state competition in the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke last year, and aims to progress to the finals this season.
Tokar narrowly missed the final selection at last year’s Division I state diving competition. This winter, she aims to penetrate All-Ohio status on the one-meter board.
Coach Glenn Yorkievitz’s daughter has been pivotal in Nordonia’s revival over the last few years. Although the Knights couldn’t replicate their success as Suburban League champions, Yorkievitz claimed four titles, including the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly events. This adaptable swimmer aspires for All-Ohio recognition prior to graduation.
