Abby Jahns from Fishers, Indiana has announced her verbal commitment to Purdue University for 2020-21. She will join her older sister Maggie Jahns, currently a junior at Louisville, as an NCAA Division I swimmer. She wrote on social media:
“So exited [sic] to announce my verbal commitment to continue my swimming career at Purdue University! Boiler up!! 🚂🚂🚂”
Jahns is a junior at Fishers High School where she is a NISCA All-American and a five-time Indiana High School State finalist. At the 2019 IHSAA Girls Swimming/Diving Championship, she placed 16th in the 200 free (1:56.29) and 10th in the 500 free (5:01.30), helping Fishers finish third in the team standings. In club swimming, Jahns represents Fishers Area Swimming Tigers. She competed in the 200/400/800 free and 100/200 fly at Indy Sectionals in March, kicking off her long-course season with a PB in the 100 fly.
Jahns will suit up for the Boilermakers with fellow class of 2024 verbal commits Abigail Harter and Hayley Pike. She will join a distance freestyle group that will still have sophomores Paige Miller and Katie Hughes. Emily Meckstroth, Purdue’s only point-scorer in the mile at 2019 B1G Championships, will have graduated. It took 16:40.40 in the 1650, 4:49.02 in the 500 free, and 1:48.56 in the 200 free to earn points at the conference meet this year.
