She told Swimming World:
“I am so so happy to announce my verbal commitment to continue my swim and study at the University of Pittsburgh!! I am forever grateful for all of my friends, family, and coaches who have made this possible. I cannot wait to be apart of this amazing family, go panthers!!!”
Hoffman, who does her club swimming with Swim Houston Aquatics Center , had four top-10 finishes at the KMSC Pro-Am Classic in December. She was the runner-up in the 100m fly, 200m fly, and 200m IM at the Gulf Summer Champs last year and then earned three best times at NCSAs.
Her best times include:
- 50 fly – 25.94
- 100 fly – 54.99
- 200 fly – 2:02.59
- 200 IM – 2:06.07
- 400 IM – 4:29.67
Also competing for John Foster Dulles High School, Hoffman is a three-time Texas 6A State Championship finalist. The USA Swimming Scholastic All-American placed fifth in the 100 fly during her junior campaign while taking seventh in that event as a sophomore and 10th as a freshman.
