She told Swimming World:

“I am extremely excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my athletic and academics career at UNCW. Thank you to my coaches, teammates, and family members for all their love and support. Can’t wait to be a Seahawk”

Her best times include:

100 fly – 55.29
200 fly – 2:05.93
50 free – 23.95
100 free – 52.11

Also competing for Upper Dublin High School, Braun is a five-time Pennsylvania 3A State Championship finalist. She finished sixth in the 100 fly and 18th in the 100 free as a junior while taking 10th and 13th, respectively, in those events during her sophomore season.
