"Keep in mind that the past is not history, but a much vaster region of the dead, gone, unknowable or forgotten. History is what we choose to remember."

Welcome to Pantheon of Heroes
We have a new section, Pantheon of Heroes, where you can now view some of the greatest names in the history of Ohio high school swimming as well as their accomplishments.

Rob Jackson, a general sports historian, has taken a look back at the last 50+ years of Ohio high school swimming and helped to compile and organize the most valuable swimmers of every era, begining with the decade of the 1970s.

An Ohio high school and collegiate swimmer himself, Rob has put together all-star teams for both boys and girls for each season (boys since 1970, and girls since they started in 1977), and then chosen a most valuable swimmer for each year, which we're calling the Gold Star Award winner.

Over the coming weeks, Rob will be adding additional decades of all-star teams and Gold Star Award winners with the goal reaching the decade 2010-2019 by the end of the 2022-2023 season.
