Teri McKeever, Cal Women Pick Up Important Breaststroker Young
For a full rundown of all of the latest college recruiting news, click here.
With the uncertainty of Missy Franklin's decision out of the way, Teri McKeever has set about shoring-up the rest of her class, with the latest addition being breaststroker Taylor Young.
Young is an Olympic Trials qualifier who is about as good in long course as she is for short, and likewise about equal in the 100 and 200. In yards, she's been a 1:02.44 and 2:14.42.
The breaststrokes are the one area of this Cal lineup where there's some uncertainty going forward for the next few years. That's after the graduation of Caitlin Leverenz following this season: one of the best in the country.
Yvette Kong had a very good freshman year; after just barely sneaking into NCAA's on a scratch, she finished 19th in 1:00.34. She and Melissa Bates (1:01.49 last season) will be the incumbent favorites to take over the medley relay spots next fall, with Young fighting for that spot as well.
Cal's class, aside from Young and Franklin, now includes Abby Speers, a 23.1 50 freestyler; Celina Li, an Olympic Trials finalist IM'er and 52.7 butterflier; and Kristen Vredeveld, a 22.1 50 freestyler.

Cory Chitwood Set to be Hired as Assistant at LSU
Recent Arizona graduate Cory Chitwood has been hired as the newest assistant for the LSU Tigers, pending the completion of a background check.
Chitwood was a former captain for the Wildcats before completing his college eligibility in the spring, and has huge collegiate credentials. That includes winning three-consecutive 200 backstroke National Championships from 2010-through-2012. He was also Arizona's Male Athlete of the Year last season for the entire Athletics program.
His former coach at the Northern Kentucky Clippers, Jason Roberts, wished Chitwood the best of luck with his new team; “The Northern Kentucky clippers are very excited for Cory. We hate to see him go but we know that he will continue to represent the Clippers in all of his future endeavors. Cory will join former clippers Audrey Lawson, Nick Kunkel and Shane Coltharp who are currently swimmers on LSU's team.”
Chitwood had been coaching with the Clippers until getting this job at LSU.
Reaching far back into his history, Chitwood actually has a distance connection to the Tigers. His mom swam for LSU for two years before returning to Cincinnati, where Chitwood grew up.
Chitwood joins a totally overhauled coaching staff that now includes assistants Jeanna Fuccillo, former Clemson head coach Christopher Ip, and himself. He was perhaps the beneficiary of fortuitous timing, as Brandy Collins left LSU after the start of the season to take an assistant job at Arizona.
All staffs, like all teams, have a certain level of “gelling” that has to take place before their true success can be determined, but at least as individual parts, this group seems to have a lot of outstanding pieces that could develop into one of the best staffs in the countries.
