NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>Spokane, Wash. native\u00a0Evonne Stehr\u00a0<\/strong>will take her talents and head to San Diego State next fall after verbally committing to the Aztecs.<\/p>\n

Stehr does her club swimming with Spokane Waves Aquatic Team but has spent most of her training career swimming at a small motel pool without a coach since the team practices over an hour away from her home.\u00a0She capped off a strong summer by recording a trio of best times at NCSAs this summer with her highest finish being an 18th-place showing in the 100m free. She was also six-time Mount Hood Sectionals finalist in July.<\/p>\n

A three-time Junior National qualifier,\u00a0Stehr has also seen success in yards; she made five finals appearances at Federal Way Sectionals in March and raced four events at Juniors West last winter. She also posted six top-10 finishes at the Washington Senior SCY Championships.<\/p>\n

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

“I’ve been waiting to post this for my whole life! I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to San Diego State University!! Thank you JESUS and my family (Mother), friends, teammates and coaches for helping me along the way! This is the start of something new and amazing! #goaztecs”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
