Regan Lawrence from Cary, North Carolina has verbally committed to swim for the University of Arkansas in Little Rock beginning in the 2017-2018 school year. “From the moment I got to Little Rock, it felt like home. I had an immediate connection with the coaches and swimmers. I can’t wait to join the Trojan family and swim under coach Amy and coach Calvin next year. Go Trojans!”
Lawrence is a senior at Green Hope High School in Cary; she specializes primarily in sprint butterfly, backstroke, and freestyle. At the 2016 4A Eastern NCHSAA Regional Championships, Lawrence competed in the 50/100 free sprints, finishing 18th and 15th, respectively.
