Patriot League ‘A’ finalist Marin Priddy will transfer to the Miami Hurricanes women’s team for the upcoming 2026-2027 season, coming off her sophomore year with American.
“I am extremely excited to announce that I’ll be continuing my academic and athletic career at the University of Miami! I’m so grateful for this opportunity and so thankful for the amazing coaches at Miami!
I’m going to cherish the past two years at American and am so happy to have made the great memories and friends there. I’m excited for this next chapter! GO CANES”
Originally from San Clemente, California, Priddy arrived on campus in Washington, D.C. in fall 2024. She had a strong freshman season and finished her year at the 2025 Patriot League Championships, scoring 26 individual points. She was highlighted by personal bests in the 50 free (23.74) and 100 breast (1:04.71).
She returned for her sophomore season and had a breakout season. She concluded her sophomore year at the 2026 Patriot League Championships and scored 63.5 individual points. She most notably was 5th in the 100 breast with a 1:02.45 and 6th in the 50 free with a 23.29. She also had strong relay splits, including a 27.78 50 breast, 1:02.05 100 breast, and a 22.85 50 free.
Priddy’s Time Progression:
| High School | Freshman | Sophomore | |
| 100 breast | 1:04.82 | 1:04.71 | 1:02.45 |
| 50 free | 24.13 | 23.74 | 23.29 |
| 100 free | 53.32 | 52.54 | 51.3 |
The Miami-FL women finished 12th out of 15 teams at the 2026 ACC Championships with 322 points. Divers Margo O’Meara and Chiara Pellacani led the way with 60 individual points each. Ashlyn Massey led the swimmers with 29 individual points.
Based on her best times, Priddy is a big pick-up for the team’s breaststroke and sprint free groups. Her 100 breast time would have led the team by almost two seconds this past season, as Zofia Sobczak led the team with a 1:04.26. It took a 1:02.20 to earn a 2nd swim at the 2026 ACC Championships. Priddy would have also been 4th on the roster in the 50 free, earning her sprint free relay potential as well.
Priddy joins fellow transfer Kaelia Hughes, who will arrive from Arizona State. Hughes is also primarily a breaststroker with best times of a 1:01.40 100 breast and a 2:13.09 200 breast.
