NEW COMMIT: Duke University has signed breaststroker Reese Reilly out of Cincinnati, Ohio, for the 2026-27 season and beyond. Reilly is a talented breaststroker who is a Junior National finalist.
Regarding her commitment, she said:
“I’m beyond excited and grateful to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Duke University! First and foremost, I want to thank God because without Him, none of this would be possible. I’d also like to thank my family, friends, and teammates for their constant love and support. A huge thank you to my Rays coaches, Emilie and Ken, as well as my high school coaches, Erica, Maliah, Nick, and all of my past coaches who have guided and supported me along the way. Finally, thank you to Coach Brian and the entire Duke coaching staff for this incredible opportunity. Go Blue Devils! 💙😈”
