Feeding Hills, Massachusetts-native Sydney Winters has announced her verbal commitment to the University of Notre Dame for the class of 2023. Winters attends Suffield Academy in Suffield, Connecticut, where she is a captain of the swim team.
“I am beyond grateful and honored to announce my verbal commitment to swim at the University of Notre Dame. From the first time I stepped onto the campus, I knew it was the place for me. I know the balance between academics and athletics at Notre Dame will allow me to succeed. I can’t wait to call this place my home. Go, Irish!”
Winters is a multiple individual and relay event NISCA All-American. She won both the 100 breast (1:03.52 in prelims) and 200 IM (2:01.93) at the 2018 New England Prep School Championships, breaking Division 1 records in both events. She also contributed to Suffield’s 200 medley (28.47 breaststroke split) and 200 free (22.96 anchor) relay wins, the latter of which took down the Division 1 and NE Prep records.
