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.
Brigid Gwidt from Cedarburg, Wisconsin has given a verbal commitment to the University of Kansas swimming and diving team for 2021-22.
“I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and swimming career at the University of Kansas!! Thank you to my family, friends, coaches, and teammates who have helped me along the way. An honor to be a Jayhawk!! #rockchalk ❤️💙”

Last summer, she won the 200m breast, was runner-up in the 200 IM, and placed 4th in the 100 breast at the LCM version of the Wisconsin LSC Senior State Meet before going on to compete at Speedo Junior Nationals.
