NEW COMMIT: Delaware, Ohio native Bridget Parker has announced her commitment to Dartmouth College and will arrive on campus in the fall of 2019.

Parker swims year-round with the Ohio State Swim Club and concluded her summer season with a fifth-place showing in the 400m IM at Richmond Futures and had five second-swims at Spire Sectionals. She recently won the 200 free at the Ned Reeb Invite and was a six-time finalist at ISCA Junior Nationals last March. Also a team captain for Olentangy High School, Parker placed eighth in both the 200 IM and 500 free as a junior at the Ohio State Championships.

She told Swimming World:

“I am pleased to announce my commitment to continue my academic and swimming career at Dartmouth College! Thank you to my parents, my sisters, my friends, Coach Kyle Goodrich and other coaches and teammates who helped me every step of the way. I appreciate Coach Holder, Coach Socha, and Coach Sacco for providing me this outstanding opportunity to be a part of this impressive team. Go Big Green!

Her best times include:

  • 200 free – 1:52.67
  • 500 free – 4:59.16
  • 100 breast – 1:06.45
  • 200 breast – 2:22.34
  • 200 IM – 2:03.80
  • 400 IM – 4:26.37 
Parker will make an immediate impact when she suits up for Dartmouth next fall. Her best 200 IM and 400 IM times would’ve scored in the B-final while both breaststrokes would’ve placed in the C-final at the 2018 Ivy League Championships where the Big Green finished eighth overall in the team standings.
