Ben Hicks joins Alex Wright and Keith Myburgh with a verbal commitment to the Virginia Tech Class of 2022. The high school junior is from New Market, MD, and swims for Monocacy Aquatic Club.

Hicks said of his decision,

“I chose Tech because of the beautiful campus, excellent facilities, and supportive team. I’m very excited to see what I can do at Tech and I’m ready to be a part of the family. Go Hokies!”

Hicks’ best times are:

100 Back 50.76
200 Back 1:47.57
200 IM 1:50.68
400 IM 3:56.06

With over a year to go until he arrives in Blacksburg, Hicks is just a second outside ACC scoring in the 200 backstroke. His 200 backstroke and 400 IM times are remarkably similar to Wright’s, giving the duo a training partner in eachother.
