USA Swimming Scholastic All-American Emily Ally from Greensboro, North Carolina has committed to swim at the University of Pittsburgh in the class of 2025.
“I am extremely humbled to verbally announce my commitment to continue my swimming & academic career at the University of Pittsburgh. This past year has been unlike any other. I know this is the best decision for me because of the opportunity to swim under the tutelage of fantastic coaches, & the great group of ladies that I will have the privilege of training with, while pursuing my academic career. I’m truly excited to join the Pitt swim team! I would like to thank my mom & family, who are my biggest supporters, & who have unlocked the doors of possibilities, while providing every opportunity to make my future goals a reality. To my amazing coaches who saw my passion & challenged my resilience & grace, & to my teammates & friends along the way who provided their continued support. So excited for the next four years!! Go panthers💙💛!! #H2P”
