Davis is currently a year-round swimmer for the Dublin Community Swim Team.

“I am thrilled to announce my commitment to continue my swimming and academic career at John Carroll University. I made this decision based off of the outstanding academics, coaching staff, and team atmosphere. Thank you to my family, friends and coaches for helping me through this decision. GO BLUE STREAKS!!!”

Davis finished 16th at last weekend’s Ohio High School Division I (big school) state championship meet in the 200 IM, swimming a new best time of 1:55.34

John Carroll The university has been ranked in the top 10 of Midwest regional universities by U.S. News & World Report’s annual guide, “America’s Best Colleges,” for 29 consecutive years. It’s a damn good school.
