Adam Kerr, a USA Swimming Scholastic All-American from Chesterfield, Virginia, has announced his intention to swim for the University of North Carolina in 2019-20. Andrew Rafalko and Gavin Mayo have also verbally committed to the Tar Heels’ class of 2023.

“I’m incredibly excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim at the University of North Carolina! A huge thanks to all who have supported me along the way! #goheels”

Kerr swims for Cosby High School and Poseidon Swimming. He specializes in IM, back, and breast with Winter Juniors cuts in the 200/400 IM, 200 back, and 200 breast in both SCY and LCM.

This summer he swam at the LCM version of that meet and made finals in the 200 breast and 200/400 IM. The meet produced new times for him in the 200 free, 50 back, and 200 IM.
