NEW COMMIT: Eastchester, New York freestyler Ryan Maierle has given an in-state verbal commitment to Binghamton University for the fall of 2019.

Maierle swims year-round with Badger Swim Club and placed 19th in the 400m free at Richmond Futures this summer after recording four lifetime bests at Metropolitan Seniors. He took 11th in the 500 free and 12th in the 200 free at New England Seniors last winter, was a five-time Metropolitan Senior finalist in February and had five top-25 finishes at Ithaca Sectionals in March.

Also competing for Fordham Prep, Maierle is a four-time New York Federation Championship finalist. He placed fourth in the 500 free and seventh in the 200 free during his junior season after finishing ninth and 14th, respectively, in those events as a sophomore.

He told Swimming World:

“I am excited to announce my verbal commitment to Binghamton University. Binghamton offers a great balance between its outstanding academics and athletics that is perfect for me. I would like to thank my family, friends, teammates, and coaches for making this possible. I can’t wait for the next four years. Go Bearcats!”

Her best times include:

100 free – 47.18
200 free – 1:41.90
500 free – 4:36.81
1000 free – 9:37.37
1650 free – 16:09.20

Maierle is a huge pickup for the Bearcats as he would’ve scored in the top-8 in four different events at the America East Championships. When he suits up for Binghamton as a member of the class of 2023, he’ll add his talents to a freestyle group that includes Thomas Mackey and Dylan Van Manen.
