Mansfield Aquatic Club Backstroker Maddie Mechling Verbals to Alabama

Fitter and Faster Swim Clinics is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.

Alabama has picked up a verbal commitment from Maddie Mechling of Mansfield Aquatic Club for their class of 2024. Mechling is a backstroker and freestyler who finaled at the 2018 Speedo Winter Junior Champs – West.

TOP TIMES

  • 100y back – 54.70
  • 200y back – 1:57.83
  • 100y free – 50.98
  • 200y free – 1:49.34
  • 200y IM – 2:01.91

Swimming with Mansfield High School at the 2019 Texas 6A State Championships, Mechling touched 3rd in the 200 IM and 4th in the 100 back.

Mechling is a little bit off of what it typically takes to score at the SEC Championships — last year, it took a 53 high to make the 100 back C final and a 1:56 low to make the 200 back C final. She’ll have two years of overlap with Alabama’s top backstroker, rising sophomore Rhyan White.

If you have a commitment to report, please send an email with a photo (landscape, or horizontal, looks best) and a quote to [email protected].
