Summer Stanfield, a high school junior and USA Swimming Scholastic All-American from St. Johns, Florida, has announced via social media her intent to swim at Louisiana State University in 2019-20. She is the second swimmer to commit verbally to the Tigers’ class of 2023, after in-state standout Jolee Liles made her verbal pledge last summer. Stanfield wrote on Instagram:
“I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim & study at Louisiana State University! ??? After many years of cheering on LSU, I am so blessed to become part of it. Thank you to my coaches, teammates, and family who have supported me along the way. ⚡️? And a special shoutout to @therealslim_stacey and her fellow LSU swammers who showed me what it means to be a tiger!! I cannot wait to LOVE purple & LIVE gold at a school with so much tradition. #geauxtigers”
