Regarding her commitment, she said:

“I’m so excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim and study at WSU! Washington State offers so many amazing opportunities in the world of academics and athletics! The coaches are so welcoming and the team is so kind and accepting, the atmosphere and culture that they’ve created is amazing. Thank you to my family, friends, coaches, and wonderful teammates who’ve helped and supported me through this process! Go Cougs!!!”

A talented breaststroker and IMer, Macy does her club swimming with WEST Express Swim Team and is a Junior National qualifier. She won the 200 IM and 400 IM at Minnesota Seniors in March after finaling in the latter event at Juniors West in December. Last summer, she placed 18th in the 400m IM and 24th in the 200m breast at Des Moines Futures.

Her best times include:

100 breast – 1:04.15
200 breast – 2:17.18
200 IM – 2:03.28
400 IM – 4:21.44

Also competing for Chanhassen High School, Macy is a five-time Minnesota Class 2A State Championship finalist. The two-time USA Swimming Scholastic All-American placed sixth in both the 100 breast and 200 IM as a junior while taking eighth and sixth, respectively, in those events during her sophomore season.

“I am very excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic journey at Washington State University. I would like to thank my family, coaches and teammates for helping me reach this point. I am honored to be a part of the WSU team, family and program. Go COUGS!!!”

Primarily a sprint freestyler, Marsh swims year-round with Magnolia Aquatic Club and most recently had a pair of top-10 finishes at Southern Seniors in December. She notched a lifetime best at Austin Sectionals last summer before going on to place 20th in the 100m free at Des Moines Futures.

Her best times include:

50 free – 23.59
100 free – 51.62
200 free – 1:53.42

A rising senior at Magnolia High School, Marsh is a four-time Texas 5A State Championship finalist. She finished fifth in both the 50 free and 100 free during her junior campaign while racing to eighth and sixth, respectively, in those events as a sophomore.
