NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>The University of Tennessee has secured a verbal commitment for the fall of 2020 from\u00a0Olivia Harper<\/strong> of Bath, Maine.<\/p>\n

Primarily a backstroker, Harper does her club swimming with Bath YMCA and owns four Summer Juniors standards. She capped off a successful long course season by collecting four silver medals in the 50m fly, 50m back, 100m back, and 200m back at YMCA LCM Nationals this past summer. Last winter, she finished 18th in the 100 back at Winter Nationals before going on to place second in the 100 back and fourth in the 200 back at YMCA SCY Nationals. A current senior at Morse High School, Harper has earned NISCA All-American honors for her efforts.<\/p>\n
