Everything from the coaches and athletes to the facilities and resources makes me confident that I have found my home away from home!

Douthwright is a very talented sprint freestyler, with the 100/200 free combo being her sweet spot. She competed for Canada at the 2019 World Junior Championships, where she reached the 100 free semifinals, finishing in 13th place. She also helped Canada to the 400 medley relay bronze medal, anchoring the relay, and she was the lead-off on their bronze medal-winning 800 free relay.

Tennessee just graduated Erika Brown, the second-fastest woman in history in the 50 free and 100 free in yards. The Lady Vols also just graduated top sprinter Stanzi Moseley, while their top returning 50/100 freestylers, Tjasa Pintar and Bailey Grinter, each have just one year of eligibility left.

Sprint speed is coming to Knoxville in the class of 2024, though, namely with Jasmine Rumley (22.2/49.0) and Irish import Mona McSharry (25.4 LCM).

Douthwright joins a big class already for 2021, including #20 Asia MinnesSummer SmithAmber MyersCory ShanksJosephine FullerKate McCarvilleLauren WetherellSara Stotler, and Summer Eaker. Among this class are sprint standouts Shanks (22.9/49.2/1:48.2), Myers (23.2/50.7), Stotler (23.3/50.1/1:47.6), Fuller (23.1/50.7) and Minnes (23.1/49.9).

Awesome get for the Lady Vols! There is a mistake- Tjasa Pintar is a senior this year, she did not graduate last year.

In the article is stated “Tjasa Pintar and Bailey Grinter, each have just one more year of eligibility left”. So where is the mistake?

Huger gets it done recruiting! And Kredich is also a great all around person too. Great leader.

Lol, Kredich is the reason for the big recruiting. Def not Huger. He is a great guy, but not the draw to Tennessee. Kredich is best in the biz.
