Additionally, what many people don’t realize is that Maddie is extremely versatile; she will also give us depth in the individual medley and the butterfly.” Back 57.49, 2:01.81; IM: 4:24.07; Fly: 2:05.15

  • Additional Info:State Finalist 100 Fly, 200 IM; “Katie is known for her work ethic,” Brackin commented. “I am looking for her to be ‘that girl’ in practice; the one who gets in the pool first, gets out last and yells the loudest.

She is a workhorse and will immediately be the ‘go-to’ swimmer for most of our sprint events. Brie is one of the nation’s top sprinters, and the fact that she comes from a middle-distance background is so exciting.

She will bring depth to our 200’s of strokes and the 400 individual medley. This Texan will bring enthusiasm and spirit to the team. I always think it is special when an entire family is loyal to the same university; it will be fun to look back in five years and know that all three (Thomas, Brittany and Natalie) Saccos competed as Longhorns.” 1:52.39, 4:51.71; IM - 2:06.20, 4:19.95;
