At the 2020 Iowa HS State Championships, Frericks finished runner-up in the 50 free (23.56) and was third in the 100 back (55.42), close to bests in both. She’s been top three in the 100 back and top four in the 50 free since the 2018 meet when she was a freshman.
Kentucky has quite a reputation for backstroke, and they’re currently led in that discipline by sophomore Caitlin Brooks (51.5/1:51.5) and junior Sophie Sorenson (52.7/1:52.3). Sorenson is also an Iowa-to-UK transplant.
Frericks joins Breckin Gormley, Jordan Agliano and Lydia Hanlon in Kentucky’s class of 2026.
