Fitter and Faster Swim Camps 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.
Jake Meyer, a current high school senior from Columbus, Ohio, has committed to swim for Division III Emory University. Meyer will graduate from Upper Arlington High School in spring 2020 and join the Eagles’ class of 2024.
Meyer is currently a year-round swimmer and water polo player for the Upper Arlington Swim Club, as well as swimming for his high school team under coach Mike de Bear.
At this year’s Central District Sectionals, Meyer placed 2nd in the 100 yard breaststroke (57.58) and 3rd in the 50 freestyle (21.83).
“I’m proud to announce my commitment to continue my athletic and academic career at Emory University! I’d like to thank all my coaches, family and teammates that have helped me along the way. Go Eagles!”
With his current best times, Meyer would have had one finals performance at the 2020 UAA Championships with Emory. He would have placed 7th in the 100 breaststroke (56.72).
