University of Louisville incoming freshman Kelsi Worrell has been named the New Jersey High School Swimmer of the Year after her stellar performance at the New Jersey Meet of Champions which was held on March 3-4.

No female swimmer in the history of the Meet of Champions has ever broken three meet records in a single meet. "We are very excited to welcome Kelsi and the Worrell Family to our Cardinal Swimming Family," said UofL head coach Arthur Albiero. "From the first time we meet Kelsi we were impressed by her personality. We believe her performances at the NJ HS State meet have only scratched the surface of her potential. We see great leadership qualities in her, and we look forward to her development and impact in our program for the years to come." In addition to swimming at Rancocas Valley HS, she swims for Coach Garrett Clark and the Jersey Storm Swim Team. Worrell has garnered many accolades throughout her high school career. She is the 3-time Rancocas Valley MVP, 3-time Burlington County Swimmer of the Year, and 2-time USA Swimming Scholastic All-American.
