NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>The University of Louisville<\/a> picked up a huge international verbal commitment with Brazilian World Juniors bronze medalist Murilo Sartori <\/strong>sending a commit to the Cardinals.<\/p>\n

Sartori won the bronze medal in the 200m free at the 2019 World Juniors with a time of 1:47.39 and finished eighth in the 100m freestyle in 50.30. He swam even quicker in the semifinals with a 50.01.<\/p>\n

Sartori will be a valuable asset on relays for the Cardinals as he adds depth in the 100 and 200 freestyle. He also has a good 400 free, placing 12th at the World Juniors with a 3:52 in long course meters.<\/p>\n

Sartori comes from Brazil, the same nation that Louisville head coach Arthur Albiero\u00a0<\/strong>hails from as well as one of the greatest Louisville swimmers ever\u00a0Joao de Lucca<\/strong>. Louisville currently has one Brazilian on the team with sophomore\u00a0Maria Sumida<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sartori also competed at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games for Brazil, winning a silver in the 4×100 freestyle relay with a 50.55 on the lead-off leg. He split a 49.24 and 1:47.04 on Brazil’s freestyle relays at the Junior Worlds.<\/p>\n
