NEW COMMIT: Sydney Colburn has verbally committed to spend her collegiate career swimming for Miami University beginning next fall. Colburn is from Deerfield, Illinois. She is a USA Swimming Scholastic All-American who swims for New Trier Swim Club and is a senior at Deerfield High School.
She told Swimming World,
“I am very excited to announce that I have verbally committed to Miami University in Oxford, OH! I am so impressed by their swim program and their incredible academic opportunities. I am truly grateful to all that have helped me to get to this point in my journey. I am looking forward to being a part of the Miami swim family. Go RedHawks!!”
Primarily a breaststroker, her top times include:
- 50 Breast 30.52
- 100 Breast 1:03.94
- 200 Breast 2:27.20
Colburn set all three of her lifetime best breaststroke times at NCSA Junior Nationals last March. At the 2017 Mid American Conference Championship it took a 1:03.99 to make finals of the 100 breaststroke, a mark Colburn is just shy of. The Redhawks had a senior and a junior in last year’s A final and a junior in the B final. All three will be gone by Colburn’s timely arrival next fall.
Congratulations Sydney!!! You are going to rock it at Miami University.
Congratulations, Sydney.
All that hard work and dedication paid off.
You rock, Sydney.
Go Redhawks!
