NEW COMMIT: Grace Bergstrom of Raleigh, North Carolina, has verbally committed to swim for Sacred Heart University. Bergstrom is a senior at Ravenscroft School where she swims for Greg Warren. She does her year round swimming for YMCA of the Triangle Area.
Bergstrom is a member of Ravenscroft’s team record holding 400 freestyle relay. That quartet also broke a 13 year old NCISAA 3A state record last winter. At last year’s high school state championships she also anchored the team’s winning 200 medley relay. As a sophomore in 2016 Bergstrom led off the team’s winning 200 freeestyle relay and finished third in the 200 IM (2:13.84). She also swam on the second place 400 freestyle relay.
Her best times are:
- 50 Free 24.91
- 100 Free 53.62
- 200 Free 1:56.13
- 200 IM 2:13.53
- 200 Breast 2:34.08
At last year’s NEC Championships Bergstrom would have been just three places and three tenths shy of finaling in the 50 freestyle. She would have been a 100 freestyle C finalist. Her top finish would have come in the 200 freestyle, where Bergstrom would have touched 16th.
