Pitt Secures 2027 Verbal From Local Distance Freestyler Olivia George
NEW COMMIT: The University of Pittsburgh has scored a new verbal commitment for Fall 2027 from local standout Olivia George, who hails from about 30 minutes southeast of Pittsburgh in Irwin, Pa.
George is a Junior National qualifier who specializes in mid-distance and distance freestyle.
Regarding her commitment, she said:
“I am so excited and blessed to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Pittsburgh! Thank you to my family, friends, and coaches for the support that has gotten me to this point! I also want to thank the coaches at Pitt for this amazing opportunity. H2P!!”
George, who trains year-round with Team Pittsburgh Elite Aquatics, most recently competed at Junior Nationals where she placed 23rd in the 800m free and 29th in the 400m free, earning best times in both. Back in March, she won the 1000 free and the 1650 free at the ISCA International Senior Cup where she also took third in the 500 free. She raced all three distance events at Juniors East last December, too.
Her best times include:
- 500 free – 4:55.24
- 1000 free – 10:07.21
- 1650 free – 16:47.10
- 200 free – 1:53.65
George is a great pickup for the Panthers. Her best time in the mile would’ve ranked second on their roster last season while her top 1000 free time would’ve been third.
