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 ❤️💙”
Gwidt attends Cedarburg High School where she is a USA Swimming Scholastic All-American. She swims for her high school and the club team Ozaukee Aquatics.

In March she placed 6th in the 100 breast and 11th in the 200 IM at the Wisconsin Senior Short Course State Championships. 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.
