Bayley commits to Texas

Stratford swimmer Hunter Bayley has committed to the University of Texas, his mother, Lori, said in an e-mail Friday morning.

Bayley, the 2007 state 500 freestyle champion, finished third in the 200 free (1:39.63) and eighth in the 500 free (4:42.9) at the state championships last year. He was sixth in the 100 back as a sophomore.

He chose Texas rather than Arizona, Lori Bayley said.

I have a message out to Hunter, so when I hear from him a story will be posted as soon as possible.
