This fall Florida Gulf Coast University welcomed Dave Rollins as new Head Coach after Neal Studd filled the vacancy at Florida State. Izzi Clark has given Rollins his first verbal commitment for the program. Clark is a backstroke specialist at Rockwood Swim Club where she swims for Mary Liston.

Clark’s best times are:

  • 50 Back 27.10
  • 100 Back 56.62
  • 200 Back 2:03.97

Clark told Swimming World,

“I chose FGCU because I immediately felt “at home” and embraced by the girls on the team and the coaches. The campus and swim facilities are absolutely amazing! I believe that Coach Rollins will continue to grow the success of the program and lead me to my best potential as a swimmer and student/athlete. #WingsUp”

At Austin Futures this summer, Clark earned a Winter National Cut with her 1:04.55 in the 100 backstroke. She also finished fourth in that event at the 2016 Omaha Cup, the test event for the Trials pool.

The Eagles are reigning Coastal Collegiate Sports Association Champions. Clark will fit right into the program. At last year’s meet she would have slid into the 100 backstroke A final. The event was won by freshman Elise Haan before she transferred to NC State. Her classmate Katie Latham was runner up in the event (53.94) and will be leading the charge when Clark gets to campus next fall. Clark also would have been a 200 backstroke A finalist. Three Eagles swam in the final of that event last year, though none of them will still be on the roster for the 2017-2018 season.
