BOISE, Idaho - Christine Mabile, Boise State Head Swimming and Diving Coach, announced today the addition of Lauren Yon who signed a financial aid agreement to compete for the Broncos starting in fall 2019. Yon is transferring to Boise State from Oregon State who discontinued its program following this season. The Beavers' loss is Boise State's gain as the talented Yon joins the Broncos for next season increasing this year's recruiting class to seven, one transfer and six freshmen. Â
"Lauren will make an immediate impact in our program as she comes in with the fastest 400 IM time and adds depth to our breaststroke group," said Mabile. "She has proven to be very consistent in dual meets and has the personal qualities we are excited about in a leader."
As a freshman in 2018-19 Yon competed in 10 meets for Oregon State specializing primarily in the individual medleys, breaststrokes and 500-yard freestyle races.
Yon entered the Oregon State record book when she swam a career-best 4:20.99 in the 400-yard individual medley at the Pacific-12 Conference Championships. Her time in the 400 IM would have placed 10th at the Mountain West Championships in February and eighth on the Boise State career performers list.
The native of Sweet Home, Ore., also set personal bests at the Pac-12 championships in the 500 free (4:58.56) and 200-yard individual medley (2:05.74), both times would have scored at the MW championships in the C finals.
Yon's other notable collegiate career highs include: 100-yard breaststroke (1:06.83) and 200-yard breaststroke (2:19.43).
Finished first in the 200 IM in three different meets, tallied two first-places finishes in the 500 free and one first-place finish the 400 IM for the Beavers as a freshman.
