INDIANAPOLIS – Finally, finally, the Carmel girls swim program has a U.S. Olympian.
The Greyhounds have won a record 38 straight state titles, a national record for all sports and all states. But this is a first.
Alex Shackell tentatively made the team Monday on night 3 of the Olympic Trials at Lucas Oil Stadium, finishing sixth in the 200-meter freestyle.
Roster won’t be official until Sunday, but top six customarily are chosen from the 100 and 200 freestyles for relays.
Alex, 17, would join brother Aaron, 19, on the team. Aaron won Saturday’s 400 freestyle.
