Johnson, VT – The Northern Vermont University-Johnson triathlon team has added a commitment for the 2021-2022 season.

Hailing from Clover, South Carolina Victoria Schoonmaker is a triathlete and a graduate of Clover High School. She has made her deposit, making her NVU-Johnson's newest triathlon commit.

Schoonmaker will major in Environmental Science with a concentration in Policy and Advocacy. In high school she earned five varsity letters, as well as qualifying for states in swimming.

From Coach Loeffler, "I'm very excited to bring Tori onto our squad.  She comes from a competitive swimming background and possesses a strong work ethic that we highly value on the team. I look forward to building upon her strong swim foundation and watching her earn many accolades while competing for the Badgers. "
