She most recently competed at NCSA Championships with a pair of new best times after qualifying for finals in five races at Middle Atlantic Senior LCM Championships. She competed at both of those meets during the SCY season and was the 100 fly runner-up at Middle Atlantics.<\/p>\n

Also competing for Haddon Heights High School,\u00a0Kaczorowski won the 100 fly at the NJSIAA Meet of Champions as a junior. She competed in the 100 fly and 50 free at State during her sophomore season and\u00a0has earned USA Swimming Scholastic All-American honors for her efforts.<\/p>\n

She told\u00a0Swimming World:<\/em><\/p>\n

“I chose Penn because of the wonderful academic reputation, the amazing opportunities that will be afforded to me, as well as the fantastic athletics! I had an amazing experience meeting the team and being shown around campus as it is a truly exquisite place! Penn has it all I’ll be on a stellar team while receiving a world-class education. I can’t wait to be a Penn Quaker!!”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
