NEW COMMIT: James Madison University has received their first verbal commitment for the 2022-23 season and beyond from Junior National qualifier Riley Bridgman of Midlothian, Virginia.

She told Swimming World:

“I and so excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at James Madison University. Thank you to my family, coaches, team and friends for helping me and supporting me through this all. I can’t wait to be a part of such and amazing group of swimmers and coaches.”

A talented breaststroker and IMer, Bridgman trains year-round with Quest Swimming and earned four best times at Virginia Long Course Seniors this past summer where her highest finish was a fifth-place showing in the 400m IM. Back in March, she was the runner-up in the 50m breast at the ISCA International Senior Cup.

Her best times include:

50 breast – 29.37
100 breast – 1:03.18
200 breast – 2:18.24
200 IM – 2:06.18

Currently a junior at Colonial Heights High School, Bridgman is already a four-time individual Virginia Class 3 State Championship finalist. She won the 100 breast and secured bronze in the 200 IM while taking first and fourth, respectively, in those events during her sophomore season.

She has also earned USA Swimming Scholastic All-American honors for her efforts in the classroom.
