Last winter, he finished 20th in the 100 breast at Juniors West before going on to place eighth in the 200 breast at College Station Sectionals. Also competing for Plano Senior High School, Sanchez placed fifth in both the 100 fly and 100 breast as a junior at the UIL Texas 6A State Championships.<\/p>\n<p>He told <em>Swimming World:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>&#8220;I am thrilled to announce my verbal commitment to Texas A&amp;M University. A&amp;M is such an amazing place where the team and staff are all like family.\u00a0 I am looking forward to continuing my academic and swimming career with the Aggies! Thank you to my friends and family and my coaches for all of the support they\u2019ve given me.

He&#8217;s just shy of scoring range at the SEC Championships as it took a 54.08\/1:58.15 to place in the 100\/200 breast last season, but Sanchez has consistently made improvements each season.<\/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>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW COMMIT:\u00a0Four-time U.S. Open qualifier\u00a0Alex Sanchez\u00a0of Plano, Texas, has pledged his in-state verbal commitment to the Aggies and will arrive in College Station as a member of the class of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":401297,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[61683,115363],"class_list":["post-401293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-high-school","tag-agon-high-school-recruits-page","tag-alex-sanchez"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
