NEW COMMIT: Alys Chang has given her verbal commitment to swim for Lewis and Clark College beginning next fall. Chang is a senior at Fremont High School. She swims for Santa Clara Swim Club.
A Far Western qualifier, her top times include:
- 200 free- 2:01.78
- 500 free- 5:23.76
- 100 breast- 1:10.75
- 200 breast- 2:28.72
- 200 IM- 2:17.09
Chang would have been the Pios’ leading 100 and 200 breaststroker last year. She also would have been second in the 200 IM. She would have been the fourth best 200 freestyler on the team in the 2016-2017 season. Her top 500 free time would have been the team’s second best.
She said of her decision,
“I chose Lewis and Clark College because it provides strong academic courses, while also having a supportive swim team with great coaches. Though I was nervous about a school outside of California, my mom and brother supported me to step out of my comfort zone and live my life to the fullest. I’m so excited for the next chapter of my life as a Pioneer at Lewis and Clark. Go Pios!”
Alys, Congrats! SCSC family are proud of you!
