“I am beyond honored to announce my verbal commitment to continue my athletic and academic journey as a D1 swimmer at the University of California, San Diego! This accomplishment is the result of a long, fulfilling journey, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who supported me along the way. To my parents, my brother, and all my incredible teammates and coaches from NCA, CSTE, and RSD — thank you for shaping me into the person I am today. I owe special thanks to Coach Joe and Coach Brandon for pushing me to reach new heights, and to Coach Marko and Coach Cassie for believing in me and entrusting me with this opportunity. Go Tritons!!! ”
