Somerset Valley YMCA’s Michelle D’Allegro has verbally committed to Wagner College, where she will join her sister, rising sophomore Jenna D’Allegro, next fall. A senior at Montgomery High School in Skillman, New Jersey, D’Allegro is a YMCA National-level breaststroker who experienced a breakout long course season this past summer, finaling at 2016 YMCA Long Course Nationals in the 50/200m breast.
As a junior, D’Allegro finished ninth in the 100 breast at the 2016 New Jersey Swim Meet of Champions; this past February she was 16th in the same event, and participated on Montgomery’s third-place 200 medley relay.
Dan Roth, Director of Competitive Aquatics at Somerset Valley YMCA told SwimSwam, “Shelly is a highly motivated senior who is at a great point in her development in and out of the water. She will make a big impact at Wagner, where her sister is already off to a great start to her freshman campaign.”
D’Allegro’s best SCY events are:
- 100 breast – 1:04.34
- 200 breast – 2:22.33
- 200 IM – 2:10.95
- 400 IM – 4:40.65
- 1000 free – 10:56.16
