She most recently placed seventh in the 1500m free, 10th in the 400m free, and 17th in the 800m free at Junior Nationals this past summer after winning the 400m\/800m free combo at NC LCM Seniors. Last winter, the USA Swimming Scholastic All-American recorded five best times at the Southern Premier Invitational before going on to earn silver in the 1000 free at Greensboro Sectionals. A current junior at Bradford Prep School, Eaker\u00a0was the runner-up in both the 200 free and 500 free as a sophomore at the North Carolina 1A\/2A State Championships.<\/p>\n<p>She told\u00a0<em>Swimming World:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>\u201cI am so honored and thrilled to announce my commitment to swim and study at the University of Tennessee!

With just under two years of club swimming still to go before suiting up for the Lady Vols in the fall of 2021, she&#8217;ll surely continue to improve and will become a valuable asset to Tennessee&#8217;s distance group.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you have a commitment to share, please send a photo and quote via email to\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"mailto:hs@swimmingworld.com\"><em>hs@swimmingworld.com<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW COMMIT:\u00a0Charlotte, N.C. freestyler Summer Eaker has handed the University of Tennessee their fourth early verbal commitment for the class of 2025.
