Four student-athletes from the Inter-Ac League Champion Germantown Academy boys and girls swimming and diving team earned National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association All-American recognition

In 1924, before Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana played host to the Olympic Team Trials, the state hosted the event at Broad Ripple Park and featured Johnny Weissmuller, who later went on to play Tarzan in 12 movies from 1932 to 1948 and later starred in 16 “Jungle Jim” movies and 26 half-hour episodes of a TV series.  Weissmuller retired undefeated, featuring five Olympic golds and 67 world records. While no famous actors will be competing at the 2024 trials, there will be multiple athletes with ties to Germantown Academy and Germantown Academy Aquatic Club. 

Practices have wrapped up and competitions are over for the spring sports season at Germantown Academy. However, that does not mean that the effort of the student athletes will now be forgotten. In fact, the Inter-Ac League announced their All-League Teams this week, honoring those who excelled during the season. 

The boys compiled 68 points on the day, finishing fourth out of 18 schools, while the girls totaled 69 points, taking fourth out of 17 schools.
