The Illinois Tech swimming and diving programs have announced the 2017–18 recruiting classes. Nine student-athletes will join one of the Midwest’s strongest rosters: six men and three women.
“We are very excited to add nine more talented student-athletes to our men’s and women’s programs,” said Head Coach Kyllian Griffin. “The arrow is certainly pointed up for both rosters, and these additions allow us to continue trending in a positive direction.”
