Long a boys and girls swimming powerhouse in Indiana,
Carmel used state championships and national rankings in both sports to climb to the top of the MaxPreps Cup standings coming out of the winter season.
Carmel won its 38th straight state championship in girls swimming and is
currently ranked No. 2 in the nation by SwimCloud. The Carmel boys team
won its 10th straight state championship and ranks No. 9 in the nation.
The Greyhounds have 1,868 points in the MaxPreps Cup, an award that seeks to recognize the top high school athletic programs in the nation. The suburban Indianapolis school moved from sixth place to take over the top spot from
New Trier (Winnetka, Ill.), which held the No. 1 ranking after the fall sports season.
Edina (Minn.) also improved its standing, coming in behind Carmel at No. 2 with 1,785 points.
Wayzata (Plymouth, Minn.), the 2022-23 MaxPreps Cup champion is at No. 3 with 1,761 points. New Trier is No. 4 with 1,748.
Edina won state titles in boys ice hockey, boys swimming and girls ice hockey. The swim teams are also ranked by SwimCloud with the girls at No. 8 and the boys at No. 12.
The MaxPreps Cup rankings are determined using a formula that takes into account state championships and state runner-up finishes along with placement in national rankings (when available). The categories are weighted based on size of state, popularity of sport (based on National Federation of High Schools participation totals), size of playoff enrollment division and number of teams competing within that enrollment division. Rankings are based on MaxPreps expert rankings and computer rankings along with swimming rankings by SwimCloud, golf rankings by High School Golf and wrestling rankings by USA Wrestling.
Powerhouse swimming programs have propelled Carmel of Indiana to the top spot in the MaxPreps Cup standings. The boys captured their 10th straight state title this winter while the girls extended their historic streak to 38 straight state crowns. (Photo: Julie L. Brown)
