Swimming World Six Star Sarah Henry Makes Decision -- November 3, 2009
PHOENIX, Arizona, November 3. THE final Swimming World six star still available in the Class of 2010 made her collegiate choice over the weekend. Multiple event threat Sarah Henry decided to head to Texas A&M.
Henry, who swims for the Raleigh Swim Association, owns times that would have put her in multiple B finals at the 2009 NCAA Division I Championships in the 500-yard free (4:40.63), 1650-yard free (16:04.89), 200-yard breast (2:10.79) and 400-yard IM (4:07.79). She also has long course senior national cuts in the 200-meter free (2:01.67), 400-meter free (4:19.36), 800-meter free (8:52.71), 100-meter breast (1:10.74), 200-meter breast (2:30.35), 100-meter fly (1:01.26), 200-meter IM (2:16.69) and 400-meter IM (4:45.92). She joins five star Erica Dittmer in what could turn out to be a strong class for the Aggies.
"The best part of the recruiting process was getting to know so many great girls," Henry told Swimming World. "I visited very strong programs with high caliber coaching and highly motivated world-class athletes. It was such a tough choice. I'm jealous of the recruits who say they ‘just knew' because I agonized over my decision. The coaches were very patient with me as I took a week or so after my last offer came in to decide. In the end, it was Texas A&M for me. I have been watching that program for the past year and really liked what I was seeing. Steve Bultman is a veteran coach who shares a similar coaching philosophy with my current club coach, Kit Raulerson. The Aggies have unparalleled support for student athletes as well as incredible school traditions and spirit. Seeing 50,000 people show up for a midnight yell practice prior to a home football game definitely left an impression on me. Cammile Adams, who I competed with in Australia and Guam on the National Junior team, has also committed to the Aggies and I'm very excited to be her teammate once again."
