NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>The Badgers have picked up their third early verbal commitment for the class of 2025, this time from in-state native\u00a0Abby Carlson\u00a0<\/strong>of Waukesha, Wis. She will join Nation’s Capital teammates Mackenzie McConagha <\/strong><\/a>and\u00a0Paige McKenna<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in the fall of 2021.<\/p>\n

Carlson, who owns three Summer Juniors standards, does her club swimming with Waukesha Express Swim Team and most recently raced three events at NCSAs this past summer after winning the 200m\/400m\/800m freestyles at Wisconsin LCM States. Last winter, she earned three more gold medals at Wisconsin SCY States before going on to final in the 200 free at NCSAs.<\/p>\n

A current junior at Waukesha South\/Mukwonago Co-Op High School, Carlson is already a four-time Wisconsin DI State Championship finalist. She was the 500 free runner-up and took fifth in the 200 IM as a sophomore after placing fifth and 12th, respectively, in those events during her freshman season. She has also earned USA Swimming Scholastic All-American honors for her efforts.<\/p>\n
