Kensey McMahon has given her verbal commitment to swim for the University of Alabama. McMahon is a US Junior National Team member who trains with Bolles. She is a rising senior at Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, FL where she is a USA Swimming Scholastic All-American.

At the 2017 SEC Championships her best 1650 time would have finished eight. Alabama junior Mia Nonnenberg touched seventh. She’ll have graduated by the time McMahon makes the move to Tuscaloosa.
