Grosse Pointe Gator Sophie Housey has verbally committed to the University of Michigan. She’ll join their class of 2024, staying in-state.
Dreams really do come true… humbled to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Michigan. Thanks to my family and coaches for getting me here! GO BLUE 〽️
TOP TIMES
- 50y free – 23.67
- 100y free – 50.47
- 200y free – 1:47.32
- 200y back – 1:57.64
- 200y fly – 1:58.73
- 200y IM – 1:59.23
- 400y IM – 4:15.58
Housey, a senior at University Liggett School, is a sprint freestyler and IM’er with potential in the 200 fly and 200 back. That versatility gives the Michigan coaching staff options as to where she’ll specialize, though her 200 free and 400 IM are her most impressive events, time-wise, right now.
With her best times, Housey would’ve been a B1G scorer in 2019 in the 400 IM, 200 fly and 200 free B final and the 200 IM and 200 back C final.
Michigan is completely overhauling its freestyle group after losing Siobhan Haughey, Catie Deloof, and Rose Bi to graduation. Those three teamed up with current junior Sierra Schmidt to place fourth in the 4×200 free relay at NCAAs.
The current freshman class has an outstanding distance presence thanks to Kaitlynn Sims and Sophia Kudryashova, both 1:47’s in the 200 free, and Housey will join next year’s class which is led by 22.8/48.8/1:45.9 sprinter Quinn Schaedler.
Also part of the class of 2024 are Claire Donan, Kalli Fama, Claire Tuttle, Sophia Tuinman, Casey Chung, Noelle Kaufmann, and Kathryn Ackerman.
