The Indiana High School Swim Coaches’ Association has released its fourth poll for the 2012-13 girls swimming season, and the school on the rise this week of Christmas is Crown Point.

The Bulldogs rise from ninth to sixth, placing them behind holdover Nos. 1-5 Carmel, Penn, Zionsville, North Central (Indianapolis), and Mount Vernon (Posey).

The rankings are made up by scoring a theoretical 16-place meet using the times/scores of the returning Top 18 individual event times from last year’s sectionals and state finals as well as the fastest reported times of this season.

Teams are listed by ranking followed by school and vote total. The IHSSCA’s fourth Top 48 (from Dec. 24):

1. Carmel 189
