Mason Manta Rays’ Braden Osborn Commits to DI West Virginia Mountaineers

Fitter and Faster Swim Camps 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.

Braden Osborn, a current high school junior from Mason, Ohio, has committed to swim for Division I West Virginia University. Osborn will graduate from Mason High School in spring 2021 and join the Mountaineers’ class of 2025.

Osborn is a current swimmer for the Mason Manta Rays. He is a Futures qualifier and recently placed 2^nd in the 100 butterfly (52.43) at the Ohio High School Southwest District Championships.

At the 2020 Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championships with the Mountaineers, Osborn would have had multiple finals performances with his current best times as a junior. Most notably, he would have placed 11^th in the 100 butterfly (49.33), 12^th in the 100 freestyle (45.71) and 13^th in both the 200 IM (1:55.66) and 50 freestyle (20.81).

Best SCY Times:

• 50 freestyle – 20.81
• 100 freestyle – 45.71
• 200 freestyle – 1:41.65
• 500 freestyle – 4:37.14
• 100 butterfly – 49.33
• 200 IM – 1:55.66
• 400 IM – 4:15.82

This year at the Big 12 Championships, the Mountaineers placed 2^nd as a team out of just 3 men’s swimming & diving programs in the Big 12 (behind Texas, ahead of TCU).

His best long course times in the 50 free (23.93) and 100 fly (56.13) in long course qualify him for the USA Swimming Summer Junior National Championships.

Osborn will begin his swimming career at West Virginia in the fall of 2021.
