Michigan native Brooke Elenbaas has announced her verbal commitment to swim for Grand Valley State University in the NCAA, where she’ll start as a freshman during the 2017-18 season. Elenbaas, who brings a lot versatility to the table with her range of events, trains club with the West Michigan Swimmers in East Lansing. She’s currently a senior at Zeeland East High School, so she’ll be pretty close by when she moves to Grand Rapids to start swimming at Grand Valley State.

“I loved the campus! Grand Valley has great academic programs especially for the field that I am interested in. The team was very nice and welcoming. I can’t wait to be a part of it!”

Her 59.05 in the 100 fly was a new personal best time, and her 2:12.73 in the 200 IM was just about a tenth shy of her best.
