St. Charles East High School, Illinois - Athletics

Athletics

Saint Charles East has 29 athletic teams, of 14 boys and 15 girls teams, which compete in the Upstate Eight Conference and Illinois High School Association. Saint Charles East's mascot is Sir Charles the Great. In the 1998-1999 school year St. Charles East set an IHSA State Record for most State Championships won by a school with a total of 7 (not including Color Guard or Drill Team). Jason Potter also won an individual state wrestling title that year, which is not included. St. Charles East Girl's Soccer was a prevailing and dominant legacy during the 90's, winning eight IHSA soccer state championships in '90,'92,'94,'96,'97,'98,'99,'00. In 1978/79, the fledgling St. Charles High School Boy's Swim Team, under coach Bob Teichart, won its first state championship in only its fourth year of existence as a high school team, breaking a streak of 12 in a row by Hinsdale Central. Throughout the '80s, St. Charles dominated IHSA Swimming, winning in 1980, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1986. They were runners up in 1987, 1988, and 1990.

At one time, signs hung at the city limits next to the population sign that stated, "Welcome to St. Charles, State Capital of Illinois High School Swimming for the 80s." There were also championship wins in swimming in 1993, 1997, and 1999. Currently, the St. Charles East High School Swim Team is coached by Joe Cabel.
