Andrew Thompson committed to The College of New Jersey for the 2017-2018 season, where he will join his sister, Courtney Thompson, currently a sophomore on the Lions’ roster. Thompson is a senior at Saint Joseph High School in Metuchen, New Jersey. He swims year-round with the Raritan Valley YMCA.
“Since I went on my first visit to The College of New Jersey I loved the coaching staff and the atmosphere that the team brought to practice. The College of New Jersey is a phenomenal school and a perennial top 10 team in Division III. I can’t wait to swim with my sister for her last two years of swimming at TCNJ and I can’t wait to be a Lion!”
