St. X Swimmer Commits To Indiana

 

St. Xavier senior swimmer Jim Barbiere has made an oral commitment to swim for Indiana University, according to St. X coach Jim Brower.

 

Barbiere, who was state champion in the 100 backstroke (50.06) as a junior, was part of St. Xavier’s ninth consecutive state team title last season.

 

Barbiere was also on the state champion 200 medley relay and 400 free relay teams.

 

According to the Swimming World magazine website, Barbiere won the 100 yard back (50.93) at the YMCA Short Course national championships. He also won the 50 meter back (27.81), 100 meter back (59.36) and 100 meter free (53.44) at the YMCA Long Course national championships.

 

Brower said Barbiere’s father also swam at Indiana and made the Olympic team.

The magazine’s Web site first reported the commitment Oct. 7.
