NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>U.S. Open qualifier\u00a0Mac Boyle\u00a0<\/strong>of Katy, Texas, has announced his verbal commitment to Indiana University and will suit up for the Hoosiers as a member of the class of 2024.<\/p>\n

Primarily a backstroker, Boyle does his club swimming with Katy Aquatic Team for the Youth and capped off his successful long course season by earning six best times at NCSAs this past summer where his highest finish was a sixth-place showing in the 50m back. Last winter, he raced both backstroke events at Juniors West before going on to place 12th in the 100 back at College Station Sectionals. Also competing for The Village School, Boyle is a five-time TAPPS Division I State Championship finalist. He won the 100 back and 100 fly as a junior while earning bronze in the former event during his sophomore season.<\/p>\n

He told\u00a0Swimming World:<\/em><\/p>\n

“I am really excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and swimming journey at the University of Indiana. I want to thank my family, coaches and friends for their ongoing support. I’d also like to thank all the coaches at IU who made me feel so welcome on my visit, and very much looking forward to being part of the IU family.\u00a0Go Hoosiers!”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
