St. Mary’s Academy’s Alex Reddington signs with Wisconsin girls swimming
Alex Reddington is headed to the Big 10. The St. Mary’s Academy senior signed her letter of intent to swim for the University of Wisconsin on Wednesday.
Reddington is a Class 4A state champion in the 100-meter butterfly and 200 freestyle races and holds school records in the 100 freestyle, 200 freestyle, 100 backstroke, 100 fly, 200 medley relay, 200 freestyle relay, and the 400 freestyle relay.
“I chose the University of Wisconsin because of the extraordinary athletic department and the high level of academics,” Reddington said in a statement released by the school. “I knew from the moment I met the swim team and coaches that it was the school for me. The coaching philosophy and dedication of the athletes made it clear that, with their help, I will achieve my goals and be the best athlete I can be.”
But before she can jump in the pool with the Badgers, Reddington has one more season with the Wildcats.
St. Mary’s Academy will join the new 3A class that begins competition this year. Reddington will look to add several 3A records to go with with her already impressive school records.
