Luke Bowman Announces Verbal Commitment to Texas Longhorns

Luke Bowman will remain in the state of Texas and attend the University of Texas beginning next fall. The long axis swimmer is from Cypress and swims for Team FINS.
The high school senior told Swimming World,
“I am excited to attend a great university and swim for a legendary program and coach. This has been a dream of mine since I started swimming, and I know that there is no better group of swimmers and coaches that will push me to work hard and get faster. I am looking forward to the challenge ahead.”
Bowman’s best times:
50/100/200 Free: 21.89/47.03/1:41.04
100/200 Back: 52.91/1:55.07
In the past year, Bowman has dropped two seconds in the 200 freestyle, 1.67 in the 100 freestyle, and nearly a second in the 100 backstroke.
Bowman is not yet at Big 12 Conference Championship scoring level, but he has another year of training before he arrives in Austin next fall. With continued big drops, he should be in a position to take advantage of training with a group that sent a number of swimmers to the Rio Olympics and took home the 2016 NCAA title.
