Braves’ Smith eager to join state’s top tier

The Indian Creek swim program has long punched above its weight class, sending numerous swimmers off to Division I colleges despite sometimes not having enough bodies to fill out three full relay teams.
Joey Smith appears next in line to carry on that tradition.
In a county loaded with top-tier swimmers this season Center Grove’s Ethan Martin and Franklin’s Cade Oliver and Mac Ratzlaff are all returning top-three state finishers Smith is emerging as another contender. Earlier this month, the junior turned some heads by winning the 50- and 100-yard freestyle titles at the Johnson County meet, breaking Martin’s record in the 50 with a time of 21.22 seconds.
