The Bentz family just picked up a few more years in the SEC Conference. Raleigh Bentz has verbally committed to Louisiana State University. Her brother Gunnar was an Olympic gold medalist this summer and will be in his senior year at the University of Georgia when Raleigh moves to Baton Rouge next fall.

Bentz shared on her Instagram,

“So excited to announce my verbal commitment to LSU! Can’t wait to see what the next 4 years of school have in store for me and to see how my swimming career will grow! GEAUX TIGERS!”

Bentz swims for Dynamo Swim Club in Atlanta. Her best times are:

50 Back 25.85
100 Back 55.34
200 Back 2:00.97
100 Fly 55.49

Swimming for Providence Christian Academy, Bentz was the Georgia 1-5A High School State Champion in the 100 back (55.34) last year. She also finished third in the 100 butterfly (55.49).

The Tigers finished seventh last year at SEC Championships. Bentz is not quite in scoring range yet. LSU had two seniors score in the 100 back last year. Freshman Haylee Knight (54.92) will be last year’s only SEC 100 back swimming Tiger still on campus next fall. In the 200 backstroke, Tennyson Henry (2:02.31) will be the only returner.
