NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>Swim Houston Aquatics Center’s\u00a0Jenny Yu\u00a0<\/strong>has committed to swim for MIT beginning next fall. The USA Swimming Scholastic All-American is a senior at Glenda Dawson High School.<\/p>\n

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

\n
100 Back 55.91<\/li>\n
50 Back 27.17<\/li>\n
200 Back 2:05.66<\/li>\n
50 Free 23.77<\/li>\n
100 Free 52.26<\/li>\n
200 Free 1:53.93<\/li>\n
100 Fly 56.68<\/li>\n
50 Fly 26.08<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Yu gives\u00a0Dani Korman\u00a0<\/strong>and her coaching staff\u00a0a number of options in any given lineup. At last year’s NEWMAC Championships Yu would have been a significant contributor to the team’s first place effort. With her best time, she would have won the 100 backstroke\u00a0and been just a half second shy of the Conference (and school) record. Her best 100 fly would also have been good for first place points.<\/p>\n
In the 50 freestyle Yu’s best time would have finished second, behind MIT freshman\u00a0Priscilla Wu\u00a0<\/strong>(23.53). Her top 200 freestyle time would have placed fourth, just behind the Engineers’ freshman\u00a0Kelly Craig\u00a0<\/strong>(1:53.58) and Yu would have been the 100 freestyle runner up. Given her speed and versatility Yu should be a key relay piece as well.<\/p>\n
The MIT women went on to finish eighth at the 2017 NCAA Division III Championships. Yu’s best time would have been good for 14th in the 100 back.<\/p>\n
Yu said,<\/p>\n
“So excited to announce my commitment to study and swim at MIT next year! Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way! #MIT2022”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
