Castle Rock, Colorado’s Jessie Beckwith has verbally committed to the University of Arkansas beginning in the fall of 2019.
“I am so excited and grateful to announce my verbal commitment to swim and continue my academic career at the University of Arkansas! I couldn’t be happier to start the next chapter of my life as a Razorback! Woo Pig!🐗❤️”
Beckwith is a senior at Rock Canyon High School where she swims sprint free and fly.
