Though she is currently faster in the long course 100 fly than the 100 back, both events are equal in short course yards, with times of 53.96 in the 100 fly and 54.07 in the 100 back.<\/p>\n<p>Waddell can also add to the Golden Gophers on freestyle relays, possibly in her freshman year and beyond. Her best 100 free in short course yards is a 50.68, while her personal best in the 200 free stands at 1:49.37.<\/p>\n<p>Waddell is also an accomplished pole vaulter, according to an article in <a href=http:\/\/www.argusleader.com\/story\/news\/2015\/05\/06\/mitchell-swimmer-realizes-olympic-trials-dream\/70885534\/ target=-blank>the Argus Leader<\/a>, finishing third in the event at the state meet. But swimming has remained her primary sport, and it showed at last summer\u2019s junior nationals. She was eighth in the 100 back and seventh in the 100 fly at the meet in San Antonio.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_153435\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tevyn-waddell-pole-vault.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-153435\" data-attachment-id=\"153435\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sprinter-tevyn-waddell-picks-minnesota-golden-gophers-for-college\/tevyn-waddell-pole-vault\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tevyn-waddell-pole-vault.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"960,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"tevyn-waddell-pole-vault\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;tevyn-waddell-pole-vault&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Tevyn Waddell via Facebook&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tevyn-waddell-pole-vault-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tevyn-waddell-pole-vault.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tevyn-waddell-pole-vault-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Tevyn Waddell\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-153435\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-153435\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Tevyn Waddell via Facebook<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tevyn Waddell, a talented sprint butterflyer and backstroker from South Dakota, made a verbal commitment to join the Minnesota women\u2019s swimming and diving program next fall.
