NEW COMMIT: The University of Arkansas has picked up their second early verbal commitment for the fall of 2022 from Trenton, Ill. native Chloe Brede.

She will join Delaney Harrison of Woodstock, Ga. as a member of the Razorbacks’ Class of 2026.

Regarding her commitment, she said:

A versatile swimmer, Brede does her club swimming with O’Fallon Seahawks and most recently competed at the 18&U Winter Championships in Lees Summit where she earned four best times and posted four top-3 finishes. She also had a strong showing at Juniors West in December 2019.

In Summer 2019, she collected six gold medals at the Ozark LCM Championships before going on to place 10th in the 200m fly at Des Moines Futures.
