“This is the culmination of a dream for each of these fine student athletes who all excel academically as well as athletically. We are so proud of their efforts and share in their joy of committing to continue their swimming careers at these fine universities.
They are tremendous leaders and role models for our many younger swimmers. They all got to see the 45 MOR swimmers who are currently swimming in college go through this process and now it is their turn to experience the thrill of committing to swim in college. The college choices this group has made show a very diverse set of choices that matches each athletes interests and athletic abilities. They have much still left to do in the sport of swimming here at MOR but today we celebrate their future.” said MOR head coach, Paul Silver
