NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>A day after the Cavaliers’ men’s basketball team clinched their first-ever NCAA Championships, the University of Virginia scored a new verbal commitment for the fall of 2020 from Greensboro, N.C. native\u00a0Tanner Hering<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Primarily a distance freestyler, Hering does his club swimming with Swim GSA and owns seven Winter Junior cuts. He recently won the 500 free and was the 200 free\/400 IM runner-up at Greensboro Speedo Sectionals in March after recording four lifetime bests at Juniors East in December. The USA Swimming Scholastic All-American\u00a0recorded 100% best times at NCSAs this past summer where his highest finish was a 15th-place showing in the 200m free. A current junior at Page High School, Hering is a seven-time North Carolina SCY Senior Championship finalist over the past three seasons.<\/p>\n

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

“I\u2019m thrilled to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Virginia! I can\u2019t wait to further my education and swimming career at\u00a0such a\u00a0prestigious university. Thank you to my family, coaches, and teammates for helping me along the way! #WAHOOWA #LevelUp”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
