Swimming: BYU Snags Several Locals
This is an exceptionally good year for swimming talent within the state of Utah, according to several prep coaches who have been around a long time.
Not surprisingly, BYU has signed several of the state's best swimmers, the school announced last week.
Here's a list of BYU's swimming signings and a little about each recruit.
* Candice Smith, American Fork: High School All-American, Olympic Trials Qualifier, Senior National Qualifier and Participant, Recruited by BYU, Utah, Florida and others.
"Candice is a wonderful swimmer and a super young lady. She comes to us from a great swimming family," said BYU coach Stan Crump.
* Erin Pabst, Logan: Five-time Utah State 3A champion, Two-time Female Swimmer of the Year in 3A, Age group and high school state record holder.
"We've been watching Erin for many years.....She is a very good swimmer who has not yet realized her potential as a backstroker," Crump said.
* Marni Knoop, Skyline: High School Swimming All-American, State Record-Holder in several events and relays, 5A state swimming champion, USA Western Sectional Finalist, Junior National Qualifier
"We had to wait a little for Marni to decide because of all the trips she made to schools, and it was very good news for us that she decided to come to BYU," Crump said.
* Jodie Ellis, Hillsboro (Ore.): Multi-time High School Scholastic All-American, Junior National Qualifier, Recruited by BYU, UNLV, Washington State and Oregon State
"We are fortunate to have been able to land Jodie, who had many choices in the schools that were recruiting her," Crump said.
* Madison Gray, Lowry High, Winnemucca (Nev.): Multi-Time High School Scholastic All-American, Academic All-State, 2007 Northern Nevada Swimmer of the Year
"In the place where she lives there is no organized club swimming and so she has driven to Reno once or twice a week to get some training......I am extremely excited to have her with us and can hardly wait to work with her," Crump said.
