Badin senior Leila Sloneker has signed to continue her swimming career at Miami University.

Sloneker competes in the sprint freestyle and butterfly events and was a state finalist all four years of high school.

As a senior, Sloneker was district champion in the 50 and 100 freestyle and was third at state in both sprint freestyle events.

“Leila is one of the most talented sprinters coming out of Southwestern Ohio,” Miami coach Dave Jennings said in a statement. “As the valedictorian of her class, Leila will be a tremendous asset to Miami both athletically and academically.”

Sloneker was named to the Cincinnati Enquirer first team and team MVP during her prep career.

“Leila has the potential to be a major contributor in the sprint events at the (Mid-American Conference) level,” Jennings said. “She is joining an already strong sprint group that is only graduating one sprinter, and she has been prepared to really improve in college.”
