Four Baylor School senior swimmers are on their way to NCAA Division I programs next year, three of them after they try to help the girls’ team repeat as state champion.
In gatherings at Baylor, Emma Michaels signed her letter of intent for Ohio University on Wednesday, Ashley Vance signed Friday with Ohio State and Arden Pitman plans to sign Monday with Tennessee.
Spencer Rowe also signed paperwork Friday to join former Baylor standout Martin Grodzki and another Baylor Swim Club member, Heritage High graduate Brett Roberson, at Georgia.
“They are really good friends,” said Rowe, a Ringgold resident who is one of the top teenage breaststrokers in the United States. He also considered Alabama, Kentucky and North Carolina but was impressed by the Bulldogs’ “team atmosphere” and welcoming nature.
“Not only are they fast, but they’re all really great guys,” Rowe said.
