Naurath to Swim for UVA 11/2/2009 Collegiate School senior Rachel Naurath has made a verbal commitment to swim for the University of Virginia. She will sign her letter-of-intent November 11. "It was the best fit for me academically and athletically of all the schools I looked at, and I looked at some pretty awesome schools," she said. "I'm really, really excited. They'll have a very good (recruiting) class, and I look forward to being able to contribute." Naurath's accomplishments in the pool are legend. A four-year team captain, she holds the VIS record in the 200 freestyle (1:49.88) and 500 freestyle (4:46.78) and has won the state title in both events the past three years. She has captured 11 VIS championships and earned all- state honors 14 times. She's a two-time VIS female swimmer of the meet and Richmond Times-Dispatch female swimmer of the year. She is a four-time NISCA All-American. Swimming for NOVA, she holds 4 team records and 3 state marks. Among her many forays into high-level competition, she swam both the 400 free and 800 free in the 2008 Olympic Trials in Omaha. "Rachel is a great competitor," said Collegiate swimming coach Mike Stott. "She absolutely 'gets' the entire swimming process. She has a complete grasp of what is required to succeed." Naurath also strongly considered Stanford, Florida, Texas, and Princeton before casting her lot with the Cavaliers. |
