Three More Recruits Make Commitments, Including Pair of Swimming World Five Stars

PHOENIX, Arizona, October 13. RECRUITS continue to make their college decisions in a fast and furious fashion, as three more swimmers are off the board according to the Swimming World College Recruit Rankings system.

Sam Shimomura, whose profile in the Swimming World College Recruit Rankings ranks him with a five-star ranking, has committed to being a California Golden Bear. Shimomura, who trains at the Santa Clara Swim Club, and preps at Bellarmine College Prep, is an all-around freestyle threat with several senior national cuts: 200m free 1:52.81; 400m free 3:57.95; 1500m free 15:57.49.

Shimomura appeared on the Morning Swim Show after helping Santa Clara to a U.S. National Age Group record relay at the short course junior nationals in Dec. 2010. The foursome of Shimomura, Chris Scheaffer, Stephen Shilling and Ian Burns broke the 15-16 national age group record in the 200-yard freestyle relay.
