A four-time top-8 finisher at the WIAA State Championships, Peyton Drexler of Hartland, Wisconsin has announced that she will be continuing her swimming career at the University of Missouri beginning in the fall of 2023. Drexler is currently in her junior year at Arrowhead High School.
In November, Drexler finished in the top-8 of both the 500 free and 200 IM at the WIAA Division 1 Swimming and Diving State Championships. She was able to claim a podium spot in the 500, taking third in a time of 4:57.43. That swim was good for a new lifetime best in the event, taking over two seconds off of her previous best in the race. She missed the 200 IM podium by the narrowest of margins, with Grace Drabot of Cedarburg beating her by just .01 in the event. Drexler finished in a time of 2:03.42.
Just a few weeks after that meet, she traveled to the Winter Junior Championships-West to race in the 200 fly and 200 IM. She was off from her best in both races, touching for the fly in 2:13.74 and the IM in 2:11.42.
“I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Missouri to continue my swimming and academic career. Thank you to my family, friends, and coaches, I couldn’t have done it without your help and support. Go tigers!
