Last winter, she raced six events at Carlsbad Sectionals before going on to register five top-8 finishes at Far Westerns. When she competed for Technology High School, Smith placed 11th in the 200 free at the CIF North Coast Section Championships during her freshman season. She&#8217;s currently a junior at California Connections Academy &#8211; North Bay.<\/p>\n<p>She told\u00a0<em>Swimming World:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><strong>&#8220;Duty, Honor, Country&#8221; I am honored to announce my verbal commitment to swim for the United States Military Academy at West Point. I chose The Point for its academic excellence in nuclear engineering, its military training in the profession of arms, and its hard-charging dynamic swim program in an elite athletic environment. I would like to thank Hannah DeRousseau (SRN) who taught me how to swim, Ethan Hall and Joe Natina (CROW) for their exceptional coaching and leadership, Crow Canyon Sharks, CalCA-North Bay, Karen Allen, and my family. I am excited to become a Black Knight and join Coach Brandt, his outstanding staff, my future teammates, and the Corps of Cadets! HOOAH! GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY!&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Her best times include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>50 free &#8211; 24.12<\/li>\n<li>100 free &#8211; 52.18<\/li>\n<li>200 free &#8211; 1:52.22<\/li>\n<li>500 free &#8211; 5:03.27<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even with 1.5 years of club swimming still to go, Smith will have a valuable impact both individually and on freestyle relays when she suits up for Army. She would&#8217;ve scored in the B-final of the 200 free at the 2019 Patriot League Championships where Army finished second overall in the team standings.<\/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:\u00a0The United States Military Academy at West Point has picked up their first early verbal commitment for the 2021-22 season and beyond from Santa Rosa, Calif. native and Futures<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":404234,"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":[61683,118952],"class_list":["post-404233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-high-school","tag-agon-high-school-recruits-page","tag-rea-smith"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
