NEW COMMIT: Greenville, Ohio native Isabella Gable has given her verbal commitment to swim at the University of Tennessee, joining the Lady Vols as part of the class of 2023.
Gable swims year-round with Dayton Raiders and is a U.S. Open qualifier. She just wrapped up a successful long course season, notching four new best times between Futures Championships in Richmond and the TYR Pro Swim Series in Columbus. She has continuously dropped a significant amount of time each season across all events.
In high school swimming, Gable competes for Arcanum and was the runner-up in the 200 free (1:48.93) and took fourth in the 100 back (56.09) at the 2018 Ohio State Championships. She took third in the 200 free (1:51.34) and seventh in the 500 free (5:05.40) during her sophomore campaign.
She told Swimming World:
“I’m so excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Tennessee!! I’d like to thank my friends & family for their support, the teammates who taught me the importance of having fun, and all the amazing swimmers and coaches I’ve met & built relationships with along the way. All the glory to God, go Vols!!!”
Her best times include:
- 200 free – 1:47.63

Gable can be used in a number of events when she arrives in Knoxville for the 2019-20 season.

Tennessee finished third in the team standings at last season’s SEC Championships.
Nice, I like it!
