Illinois Secures Commitment from WIAA State Champ Abby Cabush

Abby Cabush, a senior at Arrowhead High School in Hartland, Wisconsin, has announced her intention to swim for the University of Illinois in the class of 2022. Cabush signed an NLI and will begin in the fall of 2018.

In her junior year, Cabush won the 200 free (1:50.77) and placed 7th in the 100 free (52.10) at the 2016 WIAA Girls Division 1 State Meet. She also led off Arrowhead’s 7th-place 200 free (24.77) and 400 free (53.41) relays. At this fall’s Division 1 State Meet, she took third in the 200 free (1:50.60) and 7th in the 100 free (51.96), and contributed splits of 23.75 and 51.41 on the 7th-place 200 free relay and 3rd-place 400 free relay, respectively.
