Isabelle (Izzie) Murray has given a verbal commitment to the University of Nebraska for the 2017-18 season.
“I chose Nebraska because I fell in love with the academics and the opportunities that are available to me. I felt very comfortable with the team and I am excited to swim for Coach Pablo and Coach Pat.”
Murray made a video about her commitment (using some pretty amazing cornfield props), which can be seen here:
