Badger Swimmer Spencer LaFata Verbally Commits to Duke University

Congratulations to Spencer LaFata on making a verbal commitment to Duke University!

As SwimSwam Reports:

“Spencer LaFata, a 2016 Olympic Trials qualifier and product of the Badger Swim Club in New York, has verbally committed to the Duke Blue Devils.

Duke historically hasn’t had much success in men’s distance swimming, but they did make a lot of progress last season when then-sophomore Matt Johnson (15:08.84) and then-freshman Riley Hickman (15:09.94) moved into the top two spots of all-time in program history. Before Johnson arrived, the fastest time ever record by a Duke miler was a 15:23 from 2011.

With LaFata’s addition, though, the three fastest milers in program history will all be training together for the 2017-2018 season.”Read more.

Cummings, a 2-time Scholastic All-American, qualified to swim 4 events at this summer’s U.S. Olympic Trials: The 200 IM, 400 IM, 100 breast, and 200 fly. Her highest finish came in the 200 IM, where she placed 29th overall in a time of 2:17.19. She also swam that event at the 2016 U.S. Open, where she earned a 13th place finish.” Read More.
