AUBURN, Ala. – Twelve incoming swimmers and divers signed their National Letters of Intent to join the Auburn S&D program as a part of the 2022 class, head coach Ryan Wochomurka announced Monday.
It's the first recruiting class to sign with Wochomurka and his staff.
"We are excited to welcome this incredibly talented group of student-athletes to the Auburn Swimming & Diving Family," said Wochomurka, Auburn's first-year head coach. "We look forward to providing them with the quintessential Auburn experience and helping them to develop into world class students, athletes, and people."
The class is made up of 11 swimmers and one diver. It's a group that spans from coast to coast with eight different states represented in all – Alabama, California, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Texas. It's also a group that features versatility in the pool with different swimmers specializing in different strokes.
The lone transfer in the class, Daisy Platts, is a graduate transfer from Bowling Green. A native of the United Kingdom, Platts is a three-time MAC champion in the 200 backstroke and holds the school record in both the 100 and 200 backstroke.
Among the other swimmers to sign, four (Casey Cullen, Morgan Gore, Ainsley Jones and Kyla Maloney) competed at Wave I of the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials in June.
Kyleigh Kidd, of Southlake, Texas, is the only diver to sign. Kidd finished second on the women's 3-meter at the 2021 USA Diving Open Championship in August.
