FAYETTEVILLE – A pair of swimmers have been added to the Arkansas swimming and diving 2015 class, as announced by head coach Sean Schimmel Thursday.<\/p>\n

Caitlin Tootill of Aberdeenshire, Scotland and Sevierville, Tennessee native Natalie Burnett have both signed on. The pair of sprinters will look to add to the Razorbacks in the fall of 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to add both Caitlin and Natalie to the Razorback family,\u201d said Schimmel. \u201cThese are the type of young women that are going to come in and help make us a better team, not only in the water but in the locker room as well. We signed a great group of young women in the fall and I\u2019m just really excited to sign these sprinters to that mix.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burnett joins Arkansas after two seasons at Carson-Newman University. As an Eagle, Burnett clocked career-best and program record times at the 2015 NCAA Division II Championships in the 100 free (50.84) and 100 back (54.27). Burnett will also bring depth to Arkansas\u2019 butterfly corps with a personal-best time of 53.62 in the 100 butterfly. The Tennessee native also holds the Carson-Newman records in the 50 free (22.95) and 50 back (25.23).<\/p>\n

Tootill will look to bring international experience from the University of Aberdeen to Arkansas in 2015 as a Junior Scottish record holder for the 50 breaststroke and a qualifier for the Olympic trials. In short course meters, Tootill has swam top times in the 50 freestyle (26.14), 100 free (55.65), 200 free (2:01.42), 50 breaststroke (32.14) and 100 breaststroke (1:10.43).<\/p>\n

\u201cAdding both of them gives us a lot more versatility,\u201d said Schimmel. \u201cWe would look to have Caitlin impacting us in all sprint freestyle and breaststroke events. Whereas Natalie really helps us not only in freestyle but in butterfly and backstroke. I look for both of them to impact us right away and play significant roles in our relays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burnett and Tootill will join fellow signees Sydney Angell (Bettondorf, Iowa), Annah Carney (Springfield, Ill.), Molly Harvie (Orting, Wash.), Madison Strathman (Kearney, Mo.), Madison Umberger (Kalamazoo, Mich.) and Kiera Michailoff-Russell (Toronto, Canada) as Razorbacks in fall 2015.<\/p>\n

After two previous recruiting classes at the helm of the Arkansas program, Schimmel feels his third might be the best he\u2019s had while in Fayetteville.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing into this third year, I think every year we\u2019ve progressed,\u201d said Schimmel of the 2015 class. \u201cI think every year we\u2019ve gotten a little bit better in our competitiveness in regards to who we\u2019re competing against and an understanding of what we have to fill in our team. I think it is starting to shape up as one of the best we\u2019ve ever had. We\u2019re always looking to raise the bar.\u201d<\/p>\n
