Cincinnati, Ohio’s Cora Dupre has announced her verbal commitment to the University of Texas for the 2019-20 school year. Dupre will join Mary Smutny in the class of 2023.
“I am incredibly excited to announce that I have verbally committed to swim for the University of Texas!!! I can’t wait to be part of such an amazing team! Hook ’em!”
A USA Swimming Scholastic All-American and NISCA All-American, Dupre is a junior at Mariemont High School.
