Kaitlyn Barth of Madison, Wisconsin has announced her verbal commitment to the University of Nebraska women’s swimming and diving team. Barth is a junior at Edgewood High School in Madison; she swims year-round for Madison Aquatic Club.

“I am excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and swimming careers at the University of Nebraska. I want to thank Coach Pablo and Coach Patrick for this amazing opportunity to reach my goals. I was so impressed with the team culture and values, campus, and student-athlete support. I cannot wait to join the Husker family. Go Big Red!”

Individually she finished second in the 100 free and third in the 50 free.
