NEW COMMIT: Eszter Heins has given her verbal commitment to the University of California San Diego. Heins is from Houston, Texas. She swims under Gilbert Legaspi for Swim Houston Aquatic Center. Heins also swims for Bellaire High School where she is the school record holder in the 100 fly.

Primarily a butterflier and IMer, her best times are:

200 Fly 2:02.12
100 Fly 56.90
400 IM 4:24.46
200 IM 2:06.00
200 Free 1:53.19
500 Free 5:02.23

She told Swimming World about her decision,

“I chose UC San Diego because the coaches and team were some of the most welcoming and kind people I have ever met. I love their philosophy and energy and loved being around everyone. The school completely blew me away with the opportunities it provides in its top-notch education and the location is, of course, absolutely beautiful.”

The Tritons are the defending Pacific Collegiate Swim and Dive Conference Champions. At last year’s meet Heins’ best time would have won the 200 fly. UC San Diego’s Jayna Wittenbrink was fifth (2:06.01). She’ll be a senior in Heins’ first year. Heins would also be a 100 fly A finalist. Her best 400 IM time would have earned her a third place finish while she would have touched seventh in the 200 IM.

Heins’ club teammates Kylie Powers and Annie Norris have also given their verbal commitments to college programs.
