NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>The NC State Wolfpack have landed their first verbal commitment for the 2021-22 season and it’s a big one: jack-of-all-trades Grace Sheble\u00a0<\/strong>of North Chesterfield, Va.<\/p>\n

Primarily an IMer, Sheble does her club swimming with Nova of Virginia Aquatics. She was named to the 2019-20 U.S. National Junior team for her strong performance at Phillips 66 Nationals this past summer where she placed 15th in the 200m IM and 16th in both the 200m fly and 400m IM. While representing Team USA at the 7th FINA World Junior Championships, she finished fifth in the 200m IM and seventh in the 400m IM.<\/p>\n

At Juniors East last December, Sheble earned gold in the 400 IM and silver in the 200 fly while placing sixth in the 200 IM. She then went on to win both IMs and secure the runner-up spot in the 200 fly at NCSAs in March. Over the past two seasons, Sheble has earned 11 Virginia Senior Championship titles.<\/p>\n
