Thursday, March 13, 2025 | Lewisburg, PA - To say the PIAA swimming & diving meet was an exciting one is an understatement. Both of Indiana's boys' & girls' teams were batting hard and long for points throughout both days and had an impressive showing all together. Albeit the ending was not ideal by any means, there was still a great deal to be proud of. The Indiana girls' team finished in fifth place amassing a total of 122 points. The boys' team finished in second place amassing a total of 197 points. The drama came when Indiana was headed into the last event down nine points to leader Mt. Pleasant. Indiana needed a win and needed Mt. Pleasant to finish the event in fourth place or worse. All of the things Indiana needed to happen did happen, however, the third place event finisher Cathedral Prep had a disqualification which ultimately led to Mt. Pleasant sliding into third place finish in the final event and led to their overall victory by one point. Regardless of the outcome, both Indiana teams worked so hard and achieved so much during this season and we are so proud!
