Ellicott City, Maryland’s Morgan Liberto has announced on social media that she made a verbal commitment to the University of Alabama for the 2018-19 season.
“excited to announce my verbal commit to The University of Alabama to further my academic and swim career❤️?❤️rtr”
A two-time USA Swimming Scholastic All-American from Howard High School in Ellicott City, Liberto swims year-round with Retriever Aquatic Club and specializes primarily in back and fly. At U.S. Open in August she won the 18&Under “D” final in both the 100 back (1:02.91) and 200 back (2:15.81), notching personal bests in both distances. She also swam the 100 fly (1:03.59).
In short course season, she won the 100 back (54.90), 200 back (1:57.48) and 200 fly (2:01.16), and was runner-up in the 100 fly (54.56), at Chambersburg Sectionals. She earned PBs in the 100 back and both fly events. Liberto extended her repertoire at 2017 Maryland Swimming Senior Championship: she was runner-up in the 100 back (55.22) and 100 fly (55.87), 3rd in the 200 IM (2:05.32), 6th in the 400 IM (4:31.65), 17th in the 100 free (53.27), and 19th in the 50 free (24.81).

- 200 back – 1:56.66
