Graham is the second legacy commit in Tennessee’s incoming class of 2020 – Spence Atkins’ mom Tillie (Patterson), is a former Tennessee record holder in the 100 fly.

Graham’s Best Times (in yards):

  • 100 free – 52.13
  • 200 free – 1:53.09
  • 100 back – 55.91
  • 200 back – 2:03.64
  • 200 IM – 2:03.83

“I chose Tennessee because of the outstanding academic opportunity and swim program,” Graham said. “I felt at home with the team immediately and I know the coaches and program as a whole will push and help me reach my goals as a swimmer and as a person. I can’t wait for the next four years, go Vols!”

Graham just wrapped up her senior year at the Pace Academy in Atlanta, Georgia, and will join Tennessee’s incoming freshman class next fall.

She’s a multi-time finalist in Georgia’s high school 1A-5A State Championship meet and comes out of the Dynamo Swim Club.
