Avery Klamfoth from Charlotte, North Carolina, has announced her intention to swim and study at the University of Texas beginning in the fall of 2026. She wrote on social media:
“I am blessed and honored to announce my verbal commitment to continue my athletic and academic careers at the University of Texas!!! First, I thank the Lord for His unwavering guidance and grace during this process. A big thank you to my family, coaches, and friends for always supporting me!!! Y’all are such blessings. I am so grateful for the coaching staff at Texas for believing in me! I can’t wait to be a LONGHORN!!!!! HOOK EM 🤘🤘🤘 Proverbs 16:3”
An IM specialist from SwimMAC Carolina, Klamfoth is our #7 pick on our Way Too Early list of top girls recruits from the high school class of 2026.
As a sophomore at Myers Park High School last season, Klamfoth won the 200 IM (1:57.61) and was runner-up in the 100 breast (1:00.98) at the NCHSAA 4A State Championships. Two weeks later, she ripped a PB of 1:00.43 to come in 2nd in the 100 breast at the North Carolina Short Course Senior Championships. She also finished 2nd in the 100 free (50.91) and 400 IM (4:10.90) with lifetime bests, and won the 200 IM (1:58.47), was 2nd in the 200 breast (2:12.25), and placed 3rd in the 200 fly (2:02.61).
Klamfoth qualified for 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in both IM distances. She finished 26th in prelims of the 200 (2:16.21) and 21st in prelims of the 400 (4:51.21), a little off her best times of 2:15.60/4:45.72.
