Elyse Pratl of the Academy Bullets Swim Club has committed to Illinois State University. Pratl, who competes during high school season for Lincoln Way North in Frankfort, Illinois, qualified for NCSA Junior Nationals and the Illinois High School State Meet in 200 IM. She also swims breaststroke and mid-distance freestyle.
Her best event are:
200y IM: 2:08.41
100y breast: 1:08.16
200y breast: 2:26.59
500y free: 5:15.59
Pratl will be an immediate-impact player for Illinois State. Her 200 IM time would have put her into the B-final at the 2014 Missouri Valley Conference Championships, in an event where Illinois State could have used the points. She would have made finals in the 100 and 200 breast, as well.
Steve Paska is fantastic! Great choice, good luck Elyse!
