Eastern Illinois Gets Verbal Commitment from Dunlap, Illinois’ Caroline Shively

Fitter and Faster Swim Clinics 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.

Caroline Shively, a five-time high school sectional finalist from Dunlap, Illinois, is staying in state to swim at Eastern Illinois University this fall.

Shively was part of Dunlap’s 200 free relay (32nd) at the Illinois Girls State Championships in November. The relay team won gold at the 2018 Rock Island sectional meet. Individually, Shively was third in the 50 free (25.46) and seventh in the 100 breast (1:13.26) at the sectional meet.

In 2017, Shively helped the 200 medley relay to a runnerup finish at the East Moline sectional meet, while placing sixth individually in the 100 breast (1:13.05).

“Excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim D1 and further my education at Eastern Illinois University,” Shively said. “I couldn’t have done it without my family, friends, and coaches. I can’t wait to be a Panther next year!”

Shively swims for the Dunlap Dolphins.

Top Times (SCY)

  • 50 free – 25.40
  • 100 breast – 1:11.59
  • 100 fly – 1:02.90
  • 200 fly – 2:26.89

Shively’s 50 free time would rank second among current EIU swimmers behind Grace Kennedy (24.53).

Her 100 breast time would rank third on the team behind Rachel Manderscheid (1:07.44) and Caro Lamarque (1:11.25).

In the 100 fly and 200 fly, Shively would be outside of the team’s top three.
