NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>The University of Texas has earned an in-state verbal commitment for the fall of 2020 from Matthew Tannenberger of The Woodlands, Texas.<\/p>\n

Tannenberger, who owns seven U.S. Open standards, has done his club swimming with Swim Streamline at Northampton throughout his entire age group career. He most recently won the 200m free at NCSAs this past summer after earning a best time in the 200m fly at Austin Sectionals. Last winter, he placed 22nd in the 500 free at Juniors West before going on to earn bronze in the 200 free with five other top-15 finishes at College Station Sectionals. He also attended the USA Swimming National Select Camp in 2018.<\/p>\n

A current senior at The Woodlands High School, Tannenberger is a four-time Texas UIL 6A State Championship finalist. He placed third in the 500 free and 10th in the 200 IM while anchoring the winning 4×100 free relay as a junior. The NISCA All-American also placed fourth in both the 200 and 500 free during his sophomore season.<\/p>\n

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

“Super proud and humbled to announce my verbal commitment to study and swim at the University of Texas!! I chose the UT as my next home because I believe the business school is\u00a0an outstanding\u00a0place to excel in my academic career and the best place to grow as a person and student-athlete. I firmly believe that the amazing coaching staff,\u00a0team\u00a0culture, teammates and facilities will help me achieve\u00a0my goals in the future. Special thanks to my parents, coaches, friends and family for being such an influential part of this process. Can’t wait to represent such a legendary team and university!
