Broomfield, Colorado’s Alex Schwier has committed to swim for the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs next fall. Katarina Svetz, Kimmy Woolfenden, Luci Lozano, and Scarlet Friend have also committed to the Falcons’ class of 2023.
“I’m truly honored to announce my verbal commitment to swim for the United States Air Force Academy! I want to thank my family, friends, and coaches who have supported me through it all! This would not have been possible without you! Ultimately, I chose USAFA because it offered me an outstanding education, stellar swim program, and endless opportunities that I cannot find anywhere else! I can’t wait to call the Academy my home! #AIMHIGH #GOFALCONS”
