The Greensboro Community YMCA’s Heather Sigmon will be a member of the Class of 2021 at Virginia Tech. Sigmon, who is primarily a backstroker, is a multiple time YMCA National finalist.
Her best times are (SCY/LCM)
50 Back: 25.36/30.01
100 Back: 54.15/1:03.42
200 Back: 2:01.84/2:20.88
50 Free: 24.66/ 28.27
Sigmon told Swimming World,
“I chose Virginia Tech because it has great academics as well as athletics and I felt a real connection with the team and coaches. I can’t wait to be a Hokie!”
At the 2016 North Carolina 4A High School Sate Championships, she finished fifth in the 100 backstroke (55.60).
The Hokies were fifth at the 2016 ACC Championship. Sigmon’s best time would have placed her 20th in the 100 backstroke at last year’s meet. Only one VT swimmer was faster at February’s meet. Making finals in the 200 backstroke required breaking two minutes, and with another year before she heads to Blacksburg, Sigmon is not far from scoring points in a second event.
