US Open Finalist Clem Camacho Flips Commitment From Texas to Virginia Tech
Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.
Clem Camacho from Wilmington, North Carolina, has flipped his commitment from Texas to Virginia Tech. He will arrive with the Hokies this fall for the upcoming 2025-2026 season.
“I am very excited to announce my commitment to continue my academic and swimming career at Virginia Tech! I would like to thank my family, coaches, and friends for all of their support getting me to this point. I would like to give a special thank you to Coach Albert and Coach Sergio for giving me this incredible opportunity. I can’t wait to be a part of such a great program. Go Hokies!!”
Camacho originally committed to Texas back in November 2023 and was a “Best of the Rest” (BOTR) ranked recruit at the time. Camacho competes for NSEA Swim out of Wilmington after spending time with TAC Titans in Raleigh from 2021-2024.
In December 2024, Camacho swam at US Open and achieved numerous personal best times. He finaled in two events, placing 12th in the 200 IM in a lifetime best 1:48.06 as well as 21st in the 100 fly in a 48.81. He swam a personal best 48.47 in prelims. He also swam to a lifetime best in the 100 back swimming a 49.26 and time trialed the 50 free with a best time of a 20.68.
Swimming for Eugene Ashley High School, he swam to a North Carolina state title in the 200 free with a 1:37.57. He also was 2nd in the 100 fly in a 47.78.
Camacho’s best SCY times:
- 400 IM – 3:50.86
- 200 IM – 1:47.66
- 200 free – 1:37.57
- 100 fly – 47.78
- 200 fly – 1:48.23
- 100 back – 49.26
- 200 back – 1:48.87
- 100 breast – 56.28
- 200 breast – 2:03.43
The Virginia Tech men finished 6th out of 15 teams at the 2025 ACC Championships. The team was led by Carles Coll Marti who won the 200 breast and 200 IM. Coll Marti just finished his fifth year with the Hokies.
Based on his best times, Camacho is just off what it took to make it back at ACCs. His versatility gives him plenty of options on event choice as it took a 1:44.70 200 IM, 3:47.80 400 IM, 1:34.41 200 free, 46.21 100 fly, and 46.71 100 back to earn a second swim.
Camacho will arrive this fall as a member of the class of 2029 along with Andy Roose, Jack Mainville, Javier Nunez, Tristan Dorville, Benedek Toth, Lucas Huming, and Connor Johnson.

Local News
The victims included a Greenfield couple and their two children, as well as a 25-year-old Worcester woman.
Four members of a Greenfield family and a Worcester woman have been identified as the five Massachusetts residents killed in a fiery charter bus crash on a Virginia highway this week.
Virginia State Police identified the victims as Dmitri Doncev, 45; Ecaterina Doncev, 44; Emily Doncev, 13; and Mark Doncev, 7, all of Greenfield, along with 25-year-old Priscilla R. Mafalda of Worcester.
The crash happened on Thursday on Interstate 81 near Lexington, Virginia, when a charter bus traveling from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina, struck several vehicles as traffic slowed for roadwork. In addition to the five people killed, 34 others were injured and taken to local hospitals, according to authorities.
Investigators said the bus failed to slow down and slammed into a Chevrolet Suburban driven by Mafalda. The impact pushed the SUV into the Doncev family’s Acura, which caught fire.
Dmitri, a nurse at Holyoke Medical Center, was driving his family through the night to attend a wedding in South Carolina when the crash occurred, according to the Boston Globe.
Dmitri’s 27-year-old niece, Carolina Bublik, shared the family’s grief with the Globe, saying the Doncevs would join extended family at church every Sunday.
“Now it’s going to be very difficult, the next Sunday that comes around, where we will not be able to have them sit next to us at the lunch table,” said Bublik.
The Doncevs were members of the Providence Christian Academy community, where Emily and Mark attended school.
“The Doncev family was a cherished part of our school community, and their loss is being felt deeply by our students, families, faculty, and staff,” the school said in a statement.
A family friend started a GoFundMe to raise money for the family’s funeral expenses.
Few details were immediately available about Mafalda.
Police have charged the bus driver, Jing S. Dong, 48, with two counts of involuntary manslaughter, and authorities said additional charges are pending.
A Staten Island, New York, resident, Dong obtained his commercial driver’s license in 2024, according to Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy.

A manhunt is underway in Virginia for a suspect accused of killing a sheriff’s deputy while he was conducting a welfare check, law enforcement officials said.
Deputy Logan Utt was fatally shot after police received a request from a family member to do a welfare check at the location, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office said.
A man at the home opened fire on the two deputies who responded to the location, according to the sheriff’s office. The deputies returned fire, the sheriff’s office said, and both were hit by gunfire. Utt was pronounced dead, while the second deputy was struck in his ballistic vest. That deputy is currently receiving medical evaluation and is reported to be in stable condition, officials said.
“Deputy Utt was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished family member, friend, and respected member of our law enforcement family. His service, courage, and dedication will not be forgotten,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Utt joined the sheriff’s office in 2023, after serving in the military.
A search is underway for the suspect. He should be considered armed and extremely dangerous, law enforcement officials said.
“My office is closely monitoring this tragic incident,” Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger wrote on social media. “I encourage anyone with information on the suspect’s whereabouts to contact Virginia State Police. My thoughts are with the deputy’s family and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office as we work through this awful situation.”
