California’s Georgia Reilly, who swims for Pacific Swim and attends Mount Carmel High School in San Diego, has committed to the University of Pennsylvania women’s swimming and diving Class of 2019.*
Reilly specializes in IM and backstroke. She has won both the 200 IM and 100 back the last two years in a row at CIF-San Diego Section Division 2 Championships representing Mount Carmel. Her top short course times over the last two years include:
50y back – 26.90
100y back – 55.97
200y back – 2:03.13
200y IM – 2:06.80
Reilly will come in at a good time for Penn; half of the Quakers’ top backstrokers will be graduating after this season. Reilly’s best 100 and 200 back times would have scored in their respective B-finals at the 2014 Ivy League Championships, and her IM isn’t too far off getting a second swim.
Reilly will be joining fellow commit Kelsey Prince in the class of 2019.

*DISCLAIMER: Reilly has not yet been officially accepted to Penn. As is true with all Ivy League schools, Penn’s Admissions Office will not send its acceptance letter until the beginning of December, along with those of all Early Action candidates. The procedure for a recruited athlete like Reilly is for Admissions to review her transcript and SAT scores, “support (her) application for admissions in the fall,” issue a Likely Letter, then offer her acceptance into the class of 2019.
