The team&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/mckendree-university-announces-inaugural-class\/\" target=\"_blank\">inaugural class<\/a> arrived on campus this fall.

Go Bearcats!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Seal goes to Magnolia West High School in Magnolia, Texas and swims for the Magnolia Aquatic Club. He is primarily a distance freestyler. When he was 14, Seal posted a 9:49.74 in the 1000 and a 16:50.35 in the 1650. USA Swimming has no record of him racing the 1650 since then though he has remained around that 1000 time in the past three years.<\/p>\n<p>At the 2016 NCSA Championships, Seal went a lifetime best 4:40.58 in the 500. He also finished 11th in the 200 freestyle with a best time of 1:45.62 at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/frisco-girls-austin-vandegrift-boys-win-texas-5a-state-high-school-championships\/\" target=\"_blank\">Texas 5A State Championships<\/a> last February.<\/p>\n<p>The team will be a member of the Division II Great Lakes Valley Conference. At the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/2016-great-lakes-valley-conference-championships\" target=\"_blank\">2016 Championship<\/a>, it took a 4:42 to score in the 500 and a 9:42 to finish top 16 in the 1000. Swimming in the consolation final of the 200 freestyle required a 1:42.29.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_221145\" style=\"width: 1530px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-221145\" data-attachment-id=\"221145\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/mckendree-university-builds-new-program-with-verbal-commit-from-chase-seal\/chase-seal-mckendree-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/chase-seal-mckendree-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1520,2688\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;HTC One_M8&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1473860980&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.82&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;125&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0019083969465649&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"chase-seal-mckendree\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;chase-seal-mckendree&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Chase Seal&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/chase-seal-mckendree-1-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/chase-seal-mckendree-1-579x1024.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-221145\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/chase-seal-mckendree-1.jpg\" alt=\"chase-seal-mckendree\" width=\"1520\" height=\"2688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/chase-seal-mckendree-1.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/chase-seal-mckendree-1-533x943.jpg 533w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/chase-seal-mckendree-1-113x200.jpg 113w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/chase-seal-mckendree-1-579x1024.jpg 579w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1520px) 100vw, 1520px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-221145\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Chase Seal<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>To report a college commitment email HS@swimmingworld.com.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agon is the proud sponsor of all high school coverage (recruiting, results, state championships, etc.) on SwimmingWorld.com.
