Davis, who trains and competes year-round with the J-Hawk Aquatic Club, is primarily a backstroke specialist. She recently wrapped up her short course season at the NCSA Spring Championships, where she logged a season best time of 2:08.88 in the 200 backstroke to take 133rd overall.

Just prior to NCSAs, Davis swam at the Wisconsin Senior Championships. There, she notched a personal best time in the 200 IM of 2:12.69, as well as clocked a season best in the 200 fly with a time of 2:13.94.

In the fall Davis raced at the Wisconsin High School State Championship (Division 2), where she posted two 3rd place finishes. In the 100 fly, she dropped two tenths to clock a 57.12, while in the 100 back she took off over half a second for a 56.79. In addition to her individual races, Davis was also the backstroker on her team’s 6th place 200 medley relay (26.68) and was the third leg of the 200 freestyle relay (24.76).

St. Thomas recently made the transition to Division I, and now competes in the Summit League. Under the direction of head coach Matt Bos, the women finished 6th at the Summit League Championships with a total of 173 points.

It took a 57.22 to make the B-final in the 100 back at this year’s meet, meaning Davis’ personal best is already inside conference scoring range. Libby Fischer was the team’s lone finalist in the event, and took 16th overall with 57.49 in finals. Fischer is a sophomore this year and will be on campus for two years with Davis.

With her commitment, Davis joins Jin-Jae Robinson, Amber Hess, Eleanor Undem, Grace Hehr, Gwen Moore, and Sydney Mulford in St. Thomas’ incoming class next fall. Hess is also a Wisconsin native.
