NEW COMMIT: South Dakota State University has recently picked up a new commitment for the fall of 2020 from Mission Viejo, Calif. native Matt Sorenson.
He told Swimming World:
“I am so thrilled to announce my verbal commitment to South Dakota State University! I am looking forward to growing my athletic and academic career in a place I know that will help me foster growth. Thanks to all my friends, family, teammates, and coaches that have helped get me to where I am now I couldn’t have done it without you! I’m so excited to be starting my collegiate swimming career! Go Jacks!”
Primarily a breaststroker, Sorenson swims year-round with SET Swim Team and most recently placed eighth in the 200 breast at Minnesota Seniors after earning three best times at Carlsbad Sectionals. Last summer, he earned bronze in the 100m breast at MVN Junior Olympics before going on to achieve a best time at Mount Hood Futures.
His best times include:
- 100 breast – 58.53
- 200 breast – 2:07.12
- 200 IM – 1:57.36
- 50 free – 21.73
- 100 free – 47.33
Sorenson will add valuable depth to the Jackrabbits’ lineup when he arrives on campus this fall. He would’ve scored in the B-final of the 100 breast and 200 breast at the 2020 Summit League Championships where South Dakota State finished third overall in the team standings.
