Tennessee State Finalist Emma Pecha Commits to Rhode Island

For more commitment articles, be sure to check out SwimSwam’s College Recruiting channel.

Emma Pecha of the Memphis Tiger Swim Club in Tennessee has verbally committed to join the Rhode Island Rams next fall. The high school senior at St. Agnes Academy was a two-time finalist at the 2014-15 Tennessee State Championships, placing 4th in the 200-yard free (1:52.54) and 6th in the 500-yard free (4:59.32). She also has qualifying cuts for the Future Championships in the 200-yard and 500-yard free.

Pecha’s best times in SCY are:

  • 50 free: 25.15
  • 100 free: 53.56
  • 200 free: 1:52.56
  • 500 free: 4:58.00
  • 1000 free: 10:24.73
  • 1650 free: 18:02.69

Last season, Pecha’s best times in the 200-yard, 500-yard and 1000-yard free would have all been the 2nd fastest in the Rams 2014-15 season best and her 100-yard free time would have been 4th fastest. She would have also made an impact at the 2015 Atlantic 10 Conference Championships, where her best 500-yard free time would have placed her 8th in the A-final and her best 200-yard free would have placed her 6th in the B final.

Pecha will join new teammates; breaststroker Cassidy Fries and versatile swimmer Caitlin Guccione in the Rams class of 2020.
