<b>Paul VI’s Lytle Signs With ECU</b>
Paul VI senior Patrick Lytle recently signed to swim at East Carolina University. Lytle’s talents revolve around the 50- and 100-meter freestyle events. He competed in last year’s Junior Nationals in the 50 and 100 freestyle and the 200 and 400 freestyle relays. “I chose East Carolina because I like the environment more than the other schools I looked at,” Lytle said in a press release. “I also think East Carolina will give me a good opportunity to excel both in athletics and in academics.”
