Jacob Petitta makes commitment to swim and study at Hendrix College

Petitta commits to swim and study at Hendrix College.  Jacob has only been a competitive swimmer since walking on to the Riverview Rams High School Swim Team.  Since then, Jacob has worked tirelessly in the Sharks program transforming himself into a Division III collegiate athlete.  This past fall Pettita had two top 20 finishes in the 50 and 100 Free at the FHSAA 4A District 6 Championships.  Jacob will be swimming as a Warrior under Coach Marleneanu in the Southern Athletic Association

"Hendrix College left a great impression after I visited the campus and met with Coach Tony, and I see myself adding value to the Hendrix community and the Warriors Swim Team in the near future. I'm excited to be taking my next step in the right direction at Hendrix, and I commit to be a part of Hendrix Men's Swimming and Diving Team." - Jacob
