“Rory Lewis is one of the hardest workers and most versatile swimmers I have ever coached.” –Sue Chen, head coach, Machine Aquatics

Lewis is the current Maryland high school 100 fly record-holder with 50.79, set at the 2014 MPSSAA 4A3A State Swimming Championships. Lewis won both the 200 IM (1:53.86) and the 100 fly, and competed on Einstein’s 200 medley and 400 free relays. Lewis and the rest of the Einstein High School team are currently getting ready to begin the end-of-season meets that will culminate in the MPSSAA championships on February 20-21 at the University of Maryland.

Lewis’ top short-course times include:

100y free – 45.69
200y free – 1:38.32
500y free – 4:30.61
100y fly – 49.45
200y fly – 1:48.27
200y IM – 1:51.92
400y IM – 3:59.27

Lewis should be another strong addition to the Nittany Lions’ 2015 roster. Head coach Tim Murphy and his staff have brought together a group of athletes that will provide an immediate impact and help Penn State move up the ranks in the B1G Championship. Lewis will join the following already-committed members of the class of 2019:

Congratulations, Rory! You are the most amazing swimmer I have ever seen. I am proud to have had the privilege of being your high school coach for three years, but most proud of being an Einstein graduate. You put the school’s name on the map. Best of luck and keep working hard!
