Call it a cash infusion: Auburn has picked up a verbal commitment from Carolina Aquatics breaststroker Katie Money.
Money comes out of Columbia, South Carolina, where she attends the Ben Lippen School and swims for Carolina Aquatics swim club. She’s a breaststroker who branches out into freestyle races as well:
Money’s Top Times
- 100 breast: 1:06.05
- 200 breast: 2:25.81
- 500 free: 5:01.94
Money is definitely a swimmer Auburn is bringing in for her upside. “I chose to swim at Auburn because they trust my potential enough to give me a chance to be able to prove myself at the collegiate level,” Money said. “Everything there, the team, the campus, and the coaches, just felt so right!”
Money is actually pretty good going up towards the 1000 free as well. That would give Auburn an interesting choice with her third event – that kind of endurance might bode well for a 200 IM based on a big breast/free half, but it all depends on how she develops in the other two strokes. Regardless, Money will likely focus primarily on the breaststrokes early as she tries to crack the lineup for Auburn, which finished 4th at last year’s SEC Championships.
Who?
yo, dis girl is ballllllliiiiiinnnnn! and as sexy as fleek! holla back if you hear me girls. well, that’s all i gotta say! peace out!
Katie Money is the most dedicated swimmer I have ever met! She’s a joy to everyone she encounters and works harder than you would think possible! Good luck, Katie Money! We’re all so proud!!
AMAZINGLY DEDICATED! She knows where she needs to be, and she gets there! I know she will have crazily insane goals for herself at Auburn, but she will push herself so hard until she achieves every single one!!! SO PROUD OF YOU KTTTTTT
Omg I know her
David Marsh gave me a shot nearly 20 years ago. I believe Katie will prove she is one of the best. Building the base doesn’t always require the fastest swimmer out of club swimming. It involves personality, a belief in themself, a way to bring a smile to the pool deck. As I learned at Auburn, positive energy creates fast swimming. The team will benefit and I know the Auburn team will bring her along. WAR WAGLE!
Katie is the most devoted swimmer I know. She deserves this more than anyone, and I know she’ll be great.
One of the hardest workers I’ve ever been around, never takes her talent for granted. Has the ability to brighten anyone’s day. GO KATIE!
