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

“I am beyond honored to commit to the University of Tennessee! They have such an outstanding program and phenomenal coaches. I fell in love with Tennessee the moment I stepped on the pool deck. My favorite thing about the team would be the energy they bring to every meet. I feel like it\u2019s really easy to swim fast when you\u2019re having fun and cheering on your teammates. I am proud to be considered a Lady Vol and I can\u2019t wait to swim for Coach Matt and Coach Ashley.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
