Emily Provenzo has given her verbal commitment to swim for Villanova University beginning in the 2017-2018 season. Provenzo swims for Nova of Virginia Aquatics for Coach Geoff Brown.

The high school senior is a strong IMer, and her versatility stretches into the 200s as well. Her best times are:

200 IM 2:05.95
400 IM 4:21.74
200 Free 1:50.66
100 Fly 56.92
200 Fly 2:02.30
200 Back 2:03.32

At Winter Junior Nationals East last winter, Provenzo swam the 200 and 500 freestyles, the 200 butterfly, and 400 IM. Her highest finish (31st) came in the 200 butterfly where she posted a 2:02.80.

Villanova competes in the Big East Conference. Last year, the Wildcats won all five relays on their way to taking the conference crown. Villanova claimed the top three spots in the 400 IM and Provenzo would have led the charge as her best time would have won the event. She’ll be a valuable asset to the Wildcats across the board. In the 200 IM, the team took the top four spots and six of the top eight. Provenzo would have fit right in, snagging sixth with her best time. She’d also be an A finalist in the 200 free, 200 butterfly and 200 backstroke.
