NEW COMMIT: Moore, S.C. native Rebecca Martin has announced her verbal commitment to Denison University and will arrive in Granville, Ohio at the start of the 2020-21 season.
Martin swims year-round with Y-Spartaquatics Swim Club under head coach Dan Mascolo and most recently earned four best times at YMCA LCM Nationals this past summer. At the South Carolina SCY Championships, she finished 20th in the 1000 free and 23rd in the 200 fly.
Also competing for James F. Byrnes High School, Martin is a six-time South Carolina 5A State Championship finalist. She placed sixth in the 200 IM and 10th in the 500 free as a junior after racing to ninth in the 200 IM and 16th in the 100 back during her sophomore season.
She told Swimming World:
“I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim and study at Denison University!! Thank you to all the coaches, teammates, teachers, and friends that have helped me reach this point. Can’t wait to be on this amazing team and work with the outstanding coaching staff!! #gobigred”
Her best times include:
- 200 IM – 2:09.27
- 400 IM – 4:32.29
- 200 fly – 2:09.15
- 1000 free – 10:36.12
Martin will add valuable depth to the Big Red’s lineup when she arrives on campus as a member of the class of 2024. She would’ve scored in the A-final of the 200 IM, 400 IM, and 200 fly at the 2019 North Coast Conference Championships where Denison finished second overall in the team standings before going on to take third at the NCAA DIII Championships.
