Pittman signs with Auburn

On Nov. 13 Homewood High School senior Genny Pittman signed to swim at Auburn University next year.

“She is not only a gifted athlete but also a great student and person,” Birmingham Swim League Coach Brian Wrighton said at the signing. “She is one of the best people to ever swim with our program.”

A swimmer since age 6, Genny was the only high school-aged swimmer from Birmingham to compete in the U.S. Olympic Trials Swim Meet in 2012. She also holds the high school state record for the 100-meter backstroke.

Outside of swimming, Genny has served as SGA class president, a peer helper and a member of Beta Club at the high school. This year she was named a state finalist in the Wendy's Heisman contest.

Genny is the daughter of John and Liz Pittman.
