NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>Auburn University has landed a new verbal commitment for the fall of 2020 from Timonium, Md. native\u00a0Meghan Lee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Lee swims year-round with Eagle Swim Team under head coach\u00a0Scott Ward\u00a0<\/strong>and owns four Winter Junior cuts with the U.S. Open standard in the 200 back. She earned a pair of lifetime bests at Winter Nationals last month where she finaled in the 200 back and capped off her long course season with a 16th-place showing in the 50m back at NCSAs. A current high school junior at Mcdonogh High School, Lee took sixth in the 200 back in a new personal best at NCSAs last March. She has also earned both NISCA and USA Swimming Scholastic All-American honors for her efforts.<\/p>\n

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

“I am honored and extremely grateful to be able to announce my verbal commitment to swim and continue my academic career at Auburn University!\u00a0Thank you to my family, friends, and coaches for supporting me throughout this process and helping me make this opportunity possible. Can\u2019t wait to be a tiger in 2020! WAR EAGLE! #WDE”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
