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.
Danielle Cramer, a USA Swimming Scholastic All-American from Milton, Wisconsin, has verbally committed to the University of Minnesota for 2020-21. She will join Elle Niebuhr, Holley Dennis, Katia Soudakova, Megan Van Berkom, and Pyper Doo in the class of 2024. Cramer is a versatile swimmer who excels in back, fly, and IM. Last fall she placed 15th in the 200 IM (2:08.54) and 5th in the 100 back (56.11) at the Wisconsin High School Division 1 State Championships.
In club swimming, where she represents J-Hawk Aquatic Club, Cramer competed at 2019 NCSA Spring Championship. She finaled in the 100/200 back and updated her best times in the 50/200 back, 50/100 fly, and 200 IM. At Summer NCSAs, she notched PBs in the LCM 50/100/200 back and 50/200 fly
“I am so excited to announce my commitment to swim at the University of Minnesota! With amazing coaches, academics, and teammates, I couldn’t feel more at home! I can’t wait to be a gopher!! #SkiUMah”
