Bortlisz is a talented sprint freestyler.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding her commitment, she said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800080\"><strong>&#8220;I\u2019m happy to announce my verbal commitment to continue my swimming and academic career at Northwestern University! This wouldn\u2019t have been possible without my parents who have always been there for me. I also want to thank Coaches Szymon, Stanis\u0142aw, and Bartek for guiding me throughout this journey. I\u2019m very grateful to Coach Rachel and Coach Eddie for believing in me and giving me this amazing opportunity. GO \u2019CATS!&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bortlisz is a Polish national age group record holder in the 50m free for 15-year-old girls and 16-year-old girls. She has also been part of numerous Polish national age group record relays. She trains with Mukp Warszawianka Wodny Park.<\/p>\n<p>At the 2026 European Junior Championships, Bortlisz finished 11th in both the 50m free and 100m free. She placed 14th in the 50m free at the 2025 World Junior Championships at just 14 years old.<\/p>\n<p>In LCM, her best times include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>50 free \u2013 25.52<\/li>\n<li>100 free \u2013 55.43<\/li>\n<li>200 free \u2013 2:03.97<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In SCY, those times convert to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>50 free \u2013 22.27<\/li>\n<li>100 free \u2013 48.49<\/li>\n<li>200 free \u2013 1:48.80<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bortlisz&#8217;s best times (converted to yards) would&#8217;ve ranked third, second and sixth in the 50\/100\/200 free, respectively, on Northwestern&#8217;s roster last year. Those converted times are already fast enough to have scored in the B-final of the 50 free and 100 free at the 2026 Big Ten Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Northwestern placed ninth at the 2026 Big Ten Championships.<\/p>\n<p><i>If you have a commitment to share, please send a photo and quote via email to hs@swimmingworld.com.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polish National Age Group Record Holder Gabriela Bortlisz Pledges to Northwestern for 2028 NEW COMMIT:\u00a0Northwestern University has received its first public verbal commitment for Fall 2028 from Gabriela Bortlisz of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":654116,"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":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[61683,138373,43249],"class_list":["post-654115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-high-school","tag-agon-high-school-recruits-page","tag-gabriela-bortlisz","tag-northwestern"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
