NCAP butterflyer/IMer Carol Zangla verbals to Gardner-Webb

Nation’s Capital Swim Club has landed another swimmer with a Division I program, this time butterflyer/IMer Carol Zangla, who committed to Gardner-Webb University.

Zangla is very solid across both butterfly and IM distances, and has the potential to be an immediate-impact swimmer for Gardner-Webb.

Her lifetime-bests in the 400 IM and 200 fly would have both scored at last year’s CCSA Championships, and her 200 IM and 100 fly would have been just on the edge of scoring range. In fact, her top 400 IM time would have qualified her for the championship final at the conference championships in 2014.

Zangla’s Top Times

  • 100 fly: 57.90
  • 200 fly: 2:07.63
  • 200 IM: 2:08.99
  • 400 IM: 4:28.57

She’ll join a pretty good butterfly crew for Gardner-Webb, which put three different swimmers into championship finals in the fly last year. Two of them will be graduated by the time Zangla first sets foot on campus, as will Gardner-Webb’s 200 IM finalist Faith Kempf. That means the Bulldogs will look to Zangla to help replenish that group beginning in 2015.

Gardner-Webb is lucky to get a pick up like Carol Zangla. She has a ton of talent and will blossom in college. Can’t wait to see how she does! Best of luck to her.
