Electing to make a short two and a half hour drive to continue her college swimming career, Delaney Burns of Berwyn, Pennsylvania has announced that she will be staying in-state this fall, commmitting to swim at Penn State University. Burns is currently finishing up her senior year at Conestoga High School and does her club swimming with the Upper Main Line YMCA.
“I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Penn State University! I’d like to thank my family, coaches, and friends for supporting me through this whole process. WE ARE!! š¦š¦”

The Nittany Lion women are coming off a 10th place finish at the 2022 Big-10 Championships. The program was led at that meet by senior backstroke ace Marie Schobel, who qualified for the A-final of both the 100 and 200 backstrokes. In the 500 free, the team was led by another senior, Madison Murtagh. Murtagh was the program’s only finalist in the event, taking 22nd in 4:48.35.
When she arrives on campus this fall, Burns will have the potential to make a big impact on the Nittany Lion team, especially in the 500. Outside of Murtagh, Burns’ lifetime best in the 500 would have been the program’s fastest last season by half a second. She will also bolster the team’s depth in the 200 free and both butterfly events.
Burns will joined in the freshman class this fall by Krista Marlin, Nya Robinson, Julia Meisner, Catherine Meisner, and Morgan Bagnall. She will likely spend her collegiate career competing with Bagnall, who also specializes in the distance freestyle events. Bagnall holds a slight edge in the 500 entering college, having already been 4:53.78 in the event.
