Gracyn McQueary has verbally committed to Cleveland State University. McQueary is from Bethel, Ohio and swims for M.E. Lyons YMCA’s Anderson Barracudas. At YMCA Nationals this summer, McQueary finished as high as fifth in the 50 meter breaststroke with a 33.72.

Her best yards times are:
100 breast -1:04.92
200 breast -2:25.28
50 free – 24.61
100 free – 57.67

McQueary attends Bethel Tate High School and is a USA Swimming Scholastic All-American. While Bethel Tate lacks a pool and a swim team, McQueary’s club coach Ed Bachman has served as her high school coach. As a sophomore she finished fourth in the 100 breaststroke (1:05.28) at the OHSAA Division 2 State Meet, after capturing the Sectional Title. In her junior year, McQueary swam a faster 100 breaststroke at the state meet (1:04.92) and finished sixth. She also qualified in the 50 freestyle where she finished twelfth (24.65).

Cleveland State finished seventh at the 2016 Horizon League Championships, only two and a half points behind Youngstown State University. McQueary will give the team a welcome boost. Her best 100 breaststroke would have made her a B finalist last year. Tobie Zeller (1:03.09) was the team’s only scorer in the event last year. She’ll be a senior for the 2017-2018 season.

The high school senior shared that she plans to major in Biological Sciences and would like to pursue a career in medicine.
