“I chose Towson University because of the fantastic coaching staff and the close knit team! I love the atmosphere of the team and the constant positivity from the coaches! I am so excited to further my academic and swimming careers! Go tigers! 🐯”
A senior at Ronald Reagan High School, Plasser specializes in sprint free. As a sophomore at the 2017 North Carolina 4A State Championships she placed 11th in the 50 free and swam on all three of Reagan’s relays. As a junior she competed in both the 50 free and 100 free and led off both the 200 free relay and 400 free relay. Plasser swims year-round for Enfinity Aquatic Club. She’s done a good job extending her range this year, notching best times in not only the 50/100/200 free but also in the 500 and 1000. This summer she improved her lifetime bests in the 100/400/800 freestyles at North Carolina Long Course Senior Championships.
