Regarding her commitment, she said:
“I am incredibly blessed and honored to announce my verbal commitment to advance my academic and athletic career at the United States Military Academy at West Point! I am so humbled to join the Long Gray Line and to have the opportunity to serve my country while pursuing my own career. First and foremost, I would like to give all glory to God, for without Him I would have never had the strength to make it this far. My teammates, friends, and especially family have shown me nothing but love and support throughout this entire journey and I would have never been able to achieve this without them. I would like to also give a huge shoutout to Coach Tim, Coach Kent, and Coach Kyle for fostering my love for this sport and always pushing me to be my best-in and out of the pool. Thank you so much to Coach Megan and the rest of the Army coaching staff for providing me with this amazing opportunity to be a part of something bigger than myself. And to the entirety of AWSD, thank you for welcoming me into your family. As always, GO ARMY BEAT NAVY”
