NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>The University of Southern California has earned a new verbal commitment for the fall of 2020 from talented breaststroker\u00a0Scott Sobolewski\u00a0<\/strong>of Cincinnati, Ohio.<\/p>\n

Sobolewski, who swims year-round with the Cincinnati Marlins, owns the U.S. Open standard in both breaststroke events with a pair of additional Summer Juniors cuts. He recently won the 100\/200 breast combo at TYR ISCA Junior Nationals after finishing fourth and sixth, respectively, in those events at Juniors East in December. This past summer, he recorded five best times at Spire Speedo Sectionals where he earned gold in the 100m breast.<\/p>\n

Also competing for Saint Xavier High School, Sobolewski is a four-time Ohio State Championship finalist and has earned NISCA All-American honors. He was the 100 breast runner-up and took ninth in the 200 IM as a junior after finishing second and eighth in those respective events during his sophomore season.<\/p>\n

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

“I am honored to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Southern California to continue my swimming and academic career. I thank my family, friends, and coaches who have helped me along the way, and I can\u2019t wait to be part of the Trojan family. Fight On!!”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
