NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>Michigan State University has earned a new verbal commitment for the 2020-21 season and beyond from talented breaststroker\u00a0Olivia Starzomski\u00a0<\/strong>of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.<\/p>\n

Starzomski does her club swimming with Sault Surge Aquatic Team and also attends the Ontario Swimming Academy under head coach Don Burton<\/strong>. She most recently competed at the Speedo Eastern Canadian Championships where she earned bronze in the 200m breast and took fourth in the 100m breast. At the Canadian Swimming Trials in April, she had a pair of top-20 finishes after winning the 100m\/200m breast combo at the Ontario Championships in March. She also earned gold in the 200m breast and silver in the 100m breast at Swim Canada Junior Championships last summer.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cI am very excited to announce my verbal commitment to Michigan State University! I would like to thank coaches Matt [Gianodis] and Kathleen [Milloy] for this great opportunity! Without the support of my coaches and family, this opportunity would not have been possible. I\u2019m looking forward to being a Spartan and enjoying everything that Michigan State Swimming & Diving has to offer me.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
