Mackenzi Doescher
Fairport Area Swim Team’s (FAST) Mackenzi Doescher has announced her verbal commitment to swim for The University of New Hampshire. The Brighton High School senior will join the Wildcats beginning next fall.
“I’m so thankful to be able to announce my commitment to swim division 1 and continue my academics at the University of New Hampshire! Thank you so much to all my friends, family and coaches that helped me get to where I am today, I couldn’t have done it without all my supporters! Go Wildcats!!”
Doescher is a middle-distance freestyle specialist who also excels in butterfly and backstroke events. She is coming off a successful summer campaign that saw her compete in 6 events at the TYR ISCA Summer Senior Championships in St. Petersburg, Florida. She was a B finalist in the 100m back and 50m fly and she notched a PB in the 100m back. Last spring, she placed 7th in the 1000 free at the Niagara Swimming LSC Championships and won the 500 free at the Eastern Zone Championship. She recently wrapped up her senior year high school season. As the team captain for Rochester, New York’s Brighton High School, she led Brighton to their second straight Section V, Class B title as she won both the 200 and 500 freestyle events. Her performance in the 200 free broke a 30-year old school record. Doescher is also in the Brighton books as a member of two school record-holding relays: 4×50 free and 4×100 free. During her prep career she was a four-time New York Federation Championship finalist.
Doescher would have scored for UNH in the A final of the 500 free and the B finals of the 100§200 free at 2018 America East Championships.
