Nicholas Mahoney has made a verbal commitment to swim for Xavier University beginning in the fall of 2017.
“Extremely excited to announce my verbal commitment to Xavier University to continue my academic and swim career. Can’t wait to be part of such a great team, and work with such a fantastic coaching staff. Thanks to all my coaches, friends, and family who have helped me throughout the process! #LetsGoX”
Mahoney, who hails from Suwanee, Georgia, is a senior at North Gwinnett High School, where he holds school records in the 200 free, 500 free, and 400 free relay.
