Mandell JCC Sharks Swim Team Member, Collin Dunn, Signs Letter of Intent with Seton Hall University; Fall 2013

Mandell JCC Sharks Swim Team member and Torrington High School senior, Collin Dunn, signed his letter of intent with Seton Hall University at the Mandell JCC on Wednesday, November 13, 2013.

Dunn is currently a senior at Torrington High School but swims for the Mandell JCC Sharks Swim Team in West Hartford. Dunn is a recognized scholar athlete by Connecticut Swimming. He has also received several awards for his performance in swimming over the years, including 12-13 Scholar Athlete and CT Swimming Top 16, as well as being Connecticut’s current record holder in both the 200 and 400 long course medley relay. He was the 2013 Connecticut champion in his age group for the 100 meter breaststroke.

As part of National Signing Day, Dunn signed his Letter of Intent, which was administered through the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), to swim at the college level with Seton Hall University’s Pirates Men’s Swimming & Diving Team. By signing this agreement, Dunn has committed to Seton Hall that he will attend the institution as a full-time student in return for receiving athletic aid.

“Collin is very happy to be swimming for and associated with the Mandell JCC Sharks USS Swim program, led by Head Coach Dave Laudati,” Kim Dunn, Collin’s mother, said. “He also specifically credits Sharks Coach Mike Krajewski for his success in the pool and the opportunity to attend and swim at Seton Hall University. It is an honor to receive such recognition and to be able to swim at the collegiate level after many years and thousands of miles of training in the pool.”

The Mandell JCC Sharks Swim Team is a nonprofit member of United States Swimming dedicated to the development of competitive and recreational swimmers through technique and endurance development.
