Pish, who swims for Waves Bloomington-Normal YMCA in Illinois, is a strong freestyler across the board.<\/p>\n<p>Her best times are (SCY\/LCM):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>50 Free: 23.80\/ 25.48<\/li>\n<li>100 Free: 50.36\/ 55.91<\/li>\n<li>200 Free: 1:47.13\/ 2:00.58<\/li>\n<li>500\/400 Free: 4:45.87\/4:13.56<\/li>\n<li>1000\/800 Free: 9:54.42\/ 8:43.22<\/li>\n<li>16500\/1500 Free: 16:30.62\/ 17:01.62<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At Olympic Trials this summer, Pish won the first heat of the 400 freestyle in a lifetime best time of 4:13.56 to finish 24th overall. She also posted a personal best of 2:00.58 en route to a 26th place 200 freestyle finish. In addition to her Trials success she&#8217;ll also arrive at Duke with some international experience under her belt, having represented the United States at FINA World Junior Championships. With some quick swims this summer and well over a year until she makes the move to Durham, Pish could be much faster by the time she enters the ACC.<\/p>\n<p>With her best 200 freestyle time, she would have been a B finalist last year and Duke&#8217;s top finisher in the 200 freestyle. Pish would also fall in that same range in the 500 freestyle and be a scoring miler, and the Blue Devil&#8217;s fastest finisher.<\/p>\n<p>The Duke women have been on the rise. Already this season the Blue Devils have three women faster than 1:50 in the 200 freestyle and four at or below 4:50 in the 500. Junior\u00a0<strong>Verity Abel\u00a0<\/strong>is setting the tone, leading the way in the distance freestyle events. Freshman\u00a0<strong>Brittany Kampfer<\/strong>, who will be a junior when Pish arrives, is on Abel&#8217;s toes.<\/p>\n<p>Pish said of her verbal commitment,\u00a0&#8220;I really like the positive, upbeat atmosphere of the team. The academics are unique\u2026Overall, Duke felt comfortable, and a place where I will fit in and excel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>To report a college commitment email HS@swimmingworld.com.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While a number of high school seniors will wait until the spring to make a college decision, a member of the Class of 2018 has already made her collegiate intentions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":44247,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6,8],"tags":[61683,59701,11390,27706,59032],"class_list":["post-229189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-college","category-high-school","tag-agon-high-school-recruits-page","tag-class-of-2018","tag-duke-university","tag-melissa-pish","tag-verbal-commitment"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>High School Junior Melissa Pish Verbally Commits to Duke<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Melissa Pish\u00a0verbally committed to Duke University.
