Wisconsin Sprinter Victoria Center Announces Commitment to Brown

Victoria (Tory) Center of Madison, Wisconsin has made a verbal commitment to the application process at Brown University.*

“It’s official! I cannot wait to continue my swimming career and education at Brown University. #goBruno!”

Center swims for Badger Aquatics Club in Madison, where she specializes in the 50 and 100 freestyles. Swimming for Madison Memorial High School at last November’s 2015 Wisconsin Girls Division 1 State Championships, Center placed third in the 50 free (23.35) and eighth in the 100 free (52.38). She also anchored both Madison Memorial’s sprint relays: the 200 free relay in 23.43; and the 200 medley in 22.88, the fastest split in the heat by a long shot.

Center notched her best times of the short course season at the 2016 Wisconsin 13&Over Short Couse State Championships. There she was runner-up in the 50 free with 23.28, and third in the 100 with 51.19. She also competed in the 100 back and 100 breast, earning a PB in the former.

Her top times (SCY / LCM) are:

  • 50 free – 23.28 / 26.29
  • 100 free – 51.19 / 59.68

Center will join already-committed Taylor Seaman in the Brown University class of 2021.

*IVY LEAGUE DISCLAIMER: A “verbal commitment” by a coach is not an offer of admission, as only the Admissions Office has that authority. An Ivy League coach can only commit his or her support in the admissions process.

If you have a commitment to report, please send an email to [email protected].
