Katja Pavicevic of Toronto, Ontario in Canada has committed to the University of California, San Diego for 2019-20. She will join Gina Galloway, Juli Arzave, Katie Capelli, and Sophie Francis in the Tritons’ class of 2023.
“It gives me great pleasure to announce my commitment to continue my swimming and academic career at the University of California San Diego! I am looking forward to becoming a valuable contributor to the Tritons’ upcoming and talented team, and further developing my swimming at the highest level. Thankful for my parents, friends, and coaches who have helped me get to where I am today and a huge thank you to my future coaches David Marsh and Marko Djordjevic for making me feel at home from the moment I stepped on campus. I know that UCSD is the perfect school for me to succeed both in and out of the pool and I can’t wait to be a part of this amazing family! GO TRITONS!”
