Savage, No. 42 on MileSplit's Class of 2020 recruits, will join talented company in Columbia
next fall. The Gamecock's strong and versatile recruiting class already
includes 400m standout Alysia Johnson and US No. 3 300mH returner Rachel Glenn. The men's program, laterally, has signed All-American
long jumper Christian Lewis, US No. 1 returning high jumper Jackson Marseille and the US No. 1 shot put returner Dylan Taggart.
The familiarity
of South Carolina was also major draw in for the senior. She first visited the
campus for the program's junior day.
"I really
got a good feeling from it [junior day] and I was like I'd really enjoy coming
back here," she said. "So, when the coaches reached out to me it was really
exciting because I just loved the environment, the people and the school."
