When I was younger I went to a club meet in Blacksburg and the moment we left I told my parents I wanted to swim at Virginia Tech, I am proud to say that dream has come true. I fell in love with all things Virginia Tech from the amazing coaching staff, facilities, and team. They have supported me through the entire recruiting process and made my decision so easy. The team atmosphere is great and I&#8217;m excited to get to know more of my future teammates. The school is a great fit academically and I know I will have phenomenal support. I can&#8217;t wait to see what my four years as a Hokie have in store. Go Hokies!!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Larson is primarily a sprint freestyler.
