After just one season at West Virginia, NCAA qualifier\u00a0Hunter Armstrong\u00a0<\/strong>will transfer from Morgantown to Columbus, Ohio and will join the Ohio State Buckeyes this fall. Armstrong was one of the last qualifiers into the NCAA Championships this year that ultimately did not happen, having been seeded 29th in the 100 backstroke (46.22). He will be alongside fellow sophomore\u00a0Jonah Cooper\u00a0<\/strong>at Ohio State next year who was a 46.16 this fall in also qualifying for NCAAs.<\/p>\n

Armstrong was also seeded to swim<\/a> the 50 (19.75) and 100 free (42.78) at NCAAs this season as he was one of two swimmers from West Virginia qualified to swim at the meet. Ohio State had seven total swimmers qualified for the meet and they finished second at Big Tens this past season. They are only losing two NCAA qualifiers on their team for next season as the Buckeyes were scored to finish 11th based on the psych sheet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just didn\u2019t fit in at WVU,\u201d admitted Armstrong according to The Times Reporter<\/a><\/em>. \u201cAnd my top two choices initially were OSU and WVU so it was an easy decision. It was tough still because every program in the top 10 reached out so the school choice was still very difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have full faith in (OSU) Coach (Bill) Dorenkott<\/strong> and his absolutely amazing staff,\u201d added Armstrong. \u201cI think I finally found my home.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While at West Virginia, Armstrong was a three-time finalist at the Big XII Championships. He finished as high as third in the 100 backstroke and was fourth in both the 50 and 100 freestyle.<\/p>\n

A Dover, Ohio native, Armstrong will be joining a Buckeyes team as a rapidly improving sprinter who will be valuable on all of the relays. After just one year in Morgantown, he improved dramatically. Ohio State swimming fans have to be celebrating after getting such a huge pick-up in the transfer market from Armstrong. He also was the long course junior national champion in the 50 (22.57) & 100 free (49.80) and the 100 backstroke (54.97) last summer while representing Canton City Schools.<\/p>\n
