Arizona-native Katie McBratney has announced her verbal commitment to Arizona State University’s class of 2023. She will join fellow commits Claire Nguyen, Jadé Foelske, Lindsay Looney, and Riley Lexvold in the fall of 2019.
“I can’t wait to be a lady devil, the team is becoming a PAC12 powerhouse. I know my future is bright, not only because I’ll be swimming in Arizona haha, but because of the healthy environment, both mentally and physically, that ASU has to offer. Forks up!”
McBratney swims for Pitchfork Aquatics and American Leadership Academy in Queen Creek, Arizona.
