Exciting News from Blacklick, Ohio!

The swimming community in Blacklick, Ohio is abuzz with excitement as Aubrey Briseno, a talented swimmer from the New Albany Aquatics Club, has made a big splash by committing to swim at West Virginia University starting in the fall of 2025-26. This is a monumental step in both her academic and athletic career, and there’s plenty to celebrate!

A Perfect Match

Aubrey chose West Virginia University after carefully evaluating her options. She found the program to be a perfect fit because of the incredible team, supportive coaching staff, and outstanding facilities. The atmosphere at the university is not just competitive; it is also filled with positivity, which makes it an ideal environment for her development as a student-athlete.

A Bright Future Ahead

Graduating from Lincoln High School in Gahanna, Ohio, Aubrey developed her swimming skills early on. Specializing in sprint freestyle events, she made waves by qualifying for the Ohio State High School Division I Championships in both the 50 and 100 freestyle races. Those are impressive feats for any high school athlete, and they set the stage for what lies ahead.

Not Just a Freestyler

While sprint freestyle may be her forte, Aubrey is also a versatile sprinter, showcasing her talents in several events. She competed as a part of relays during high school—performing well in the 200 medley relay where she recorded a time of 25.33 seconds in butterfly and in the 200 free relay with an impressive 23.63 seconds. Her skills extend beyond freestyle, as she participated in the 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly at the NCSA Spring Championships.

Records and Achievements

Aubrey’s amazing speed continued to shine through last summer when she achieved a personal best in the long course 50 breaststroke. Notably, she finished last year’s long course season at the Columbus Sectionals, where she didn’t just compete; she made a mark by finaling in the 50 fly and matching her personal bests in several events including the 50 free, 100 free, and 50 fly.

Recently, in the spring of 2024, Aubrey accomplished something truly special by hitting lifetime bests across multiple events: SCY 50 and 100 free, 100 back, 100 fly, and 200 IM. To put her achievements in perspective, her best SCY times would have placed her among the top contenders on the Mountaineers’ roster last season, ranking 4th in the 50 free, 5th in the 100 free, and even higher in other events.

Join the Team

At West Virginia University, Aubrey will be joining a promising group of fellow recruits, including Kenzie Getz, Baylee Sloan, Tabi Main, Maecy Wells, Sezen Kalak, Macey Larson, and Madalyn Witt. Together, they are set to make an impact on the team, creating excited anticipation among coaches and fans. With this impressive line-up, the future of the swimming program looks brighter than ever.

In Conclusion

Aubrey Briseno’s commitment to West Virginia University is a tremendous achievement not only for her but also for the entire Blacklick community. With her exceptional skills, dedication, and passion for swim, there’s no doubt that she is on the path to becoming a standout student-athlete. As she prepares for this exciting new chapter, everyone in Ohio will be cheering her on, excited to see how far she can go in both academics and athletics!
