Olympic swimmer Jake Mitchell<\/strong> has announced he will transfer to the University of Florida.<\/p>\n

The sophomore at Michigan was an All-American and two-time Big Ten champion for the Wolverines.<\/p>\n

The NCAA Championships did not go as well as expected for Mitchell and the Wolverines, but he is looking for a fresh start at Florida, training with fellow distance and mid-distance freestylers like Kieran Smith<\/strong> and Bobby Finke<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Very excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and swimming careers at the University of Florida! Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way. Go Gators!” Jake Mitchell posted on Instagram.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
