NEW COMMIT: The University of Iowa has received a verbal commitment from Council Bluffs, Iowa’s Jackson Allmon to join the team’s Class of 2022. The Saint Albert High School senior is a two-time USA Swimming Scholastic All-American. He trains with Council Bluffs Swim Club.
At last year’s Iowa high school state championships Allmon picked up a silver in the 500 free (4:36.44) and bronze in the 200 free (1:41.71).
His best times are:
- 100 Free 46.47
- 200 Free 1:39.99
- 500 Free 4:33.31
- 1000 Free 9:31.28
- 100 Fly 50.88
- 200 Fly 1:51.58
Allmon told Swimming World,
“I chose Iowa because on my visit the swimmers made me feel like I was already apart of the team. I believe in Coach Long and what his coaching staff is trying to achieve in the BIG 10 and beyond. Along with the team, Iowa has world class facilities and a homely classroom environment. GO HAWKS!”
Next fall Allmon will join a freestyle group that still includes Joseph Myhre, Benjamin Colin, Jack Smith, Matthew Kamin, William Scott, and Stjepan Fiolic.
