NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>Texas A&M has received a verbal commitment from an in-state talent:\u00a0Kylie Powers<\/strong>. Powers is from Houston where she swims for Swim Houston Aquatic Center. A USA Swimming Scholastic All-American, Powers is one of the top breaststrokers in the Class of 2018.<\/p>\n

Her best times include:<\/p>\n

\n
50 Breast 28.86<\/li>\n
100 Breast 1:00.65<\/li>\n
200 Breast 2:12.58<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
At NCSA Junior Nationals in March Powers was a finalist in all three breaststroke events, finishing as high as second (1:00.65) in the 100. At the 2017 SEC Championships Powers’ best time would have put her tenth in the 100 breaststroke. The Aggies had three swimmers in the A final, though all of them will have graduated by Powers’ move to College Station. In the 200 breaststroke her best time would make her a C fianlist. The Aggies finished an impressive 1-2-3-5-6-9-18 in that event.<\/p>\n
She told\u00a0Swimming World<\/em>,<\/p>\n
“I’m excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim for and continue my education at Texas A & M University! Coach Steve<\/strong> and Coach Tanica<\/strong> made me feel like family during the recruiting process, and I am looking forward to being a part of their deep breaststroke tradition. I know with their guidance I will achieve my goals in and out of the pool. Thank you to my family, friends, coaches and teammates for their support throughout the journey. I couldn’t have done it without you! #Gig’ em!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
