Neuman is primarily a backstroker, though he has a strong 200 IM, too.

At the 2020 Ohio HS Division I Champs, Neuman scored in the B-final of the 100 back, going 50.60 for 13th at the meet. Neuman also competed at both the 2019 Speedo Junior Nationals last summer and the 2019 Speedo Winter Junior Championships – East, placing 57th at the latter meet in the 100 back (50.40).

Last year, Penn State was led in the backstrokes by 200 back Big Ten runner-up Michael Daly (1:40.63) and Big Ten B-finalist Liam Veregin (47.21). Veregin just graduated, but Daly has two seasons left in State College.

Neuman joins Jack Deppen, Sam Folger and Duncan Troup in Penn State’s class of 2025.

With being sick at the state meet and no good juniors yet , he has a lot of upside potential. Great pick up

Those 20.8 and 45.7 splits 2 years ago aren’t too horrible
