TCU Signs Three Men

FORT WORTH, Texas, April 21. TCU swimming and diving coach Richard Sybesma announced the addition of three swimmers to the men's program.

Each of the swimmers is from the state of Texas, including two from Houston. Harrison Bui and Ford Story make their way to Fort Worth from Houston to join two others on the TCU roster from the Houston area.

Story is considered the No. 3 breaststroker in the state this year, while Bui, a member of the Houston Swim Club, is the rare swimmer who shines in the 100-back and 100-breast, two events that are back-to-back on the high school meet schedule.

Cory Nix, ranked as the No. 11 recruit in the state of Texas according to collegeswimming.com, is a Frisco native and won the Texas 4A state championship in the 100-free a year ago. He was named to the TISCA All-State team 10 times during his high school career.

The signing of three Texas natives gives the Horned Frogs eight on next season's roster from the Lone Star State.
