World Juniors Finalist Milan Glintmeyer Announces Verbal Commitment to Texas for 2027-28

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.

Milan Glintmeyer from Auckland, New Zealand, has announced her verbal commitment to the University of Texas for 2027. She wrote on social media:

“I’m beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to further my academic and athletic career at the University of Texas, Austin. This dream could not have been fulfilled without the endless love and support of my family. Thanks to all those who’ve supported my swimming journey to date, including the coaches at Coast Swimming Club. Special thanks to Coach Carol, Coach Mitch, Coach Chad and all of the coaching staff at Texas! I’m beyond grateful for this incredible opportunity and I can’t wait to be a Longhorn!! HOOK ‘EM 🤘🧡

The Longhorns are off to a strong start for 2027-28: they have earned commitments from #3 Sadie Buckley, #8 Daisy Collins, #11 Bianca Nwaizu, and diver Callie Fox, in addition to Glintmeyer.

At the end of September, Glintmeyer competed at the New Zealand Short Course National Championships and won the 100 back (58.91) and 100 IM (1:03.94), was runner-up in the 100 fly (1:00.13), and placed 3rd in the 50 fly (27.18). She left the meet with lifetime bests in the 50 back (27.43) and 100 back (58.91).

She represented New Zealand at last summer’s 10th World Aquatics Junior Championships, where she placed 9th in the 50 back (PB of 28.35), 8th in the 100 back (1:00.90), and 33rd in prelims of the 100 fly (1:01.76). She clocked a PB of 1:00.56 in the 100 back in the semi-finals.

In August, she competed at the 2025 Australian Age & Multi-Class Age Championships at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre. She won the 100 back final (1:01.31), was runner-up in the 100 fly (PB of 59.99 in prelims), and placed 7th in prelims of the 50 free (26.27) and 8th in finals of the 100 free (56.91). She also earned PBs of 27.29 in the 50 fly and a season-best 28.85 in the 50 back.

Glintmeyer’s best times (converted) would rank in Texas’s top 3 this season (so far) in the top 2 of the 50 back, 50 fly, and 100 fly, and the top 5 of the 100 free and 100 back.

Best times (converted):

Event SCM LCM SCY
50 free 25.48 26.18 22.86
100 free 55.72 56.84 49.76
50 back 27.43 28.35 24.71

If Tenn gets Erisman and Texas gets Derivaux, who has number one class?

That does not matter as much because UT is the real UT and TX is a poser. Our Lady Vols will improve more than the “other team” does.

Cant wait for Tenn to get Erisman, break the 200 MR and 400 MR records at SECs, then not even get top 8 at NCAAs.

Your lady vols had their butts handed to them by Texas a couple weeks ago and had to crawl back to Knoxville with their tail between their legs.

Oh yea TX eked out a win in their home pool with many of the Coonskinned barefooted swimmers and divers from Lady Vol Land not present! We will see at NCAAs down the road in 2028 when our girls dominate!

Lol I’m as much of a homer as anyone but don’t think we’re beating Texas this year. Hope we keep the dual meet series going though! Could be some great battles in the future.

I miss the ISL (go dawgs)

Lmao with all due respect, everyone knows UT (longhorns) is the real UT. Even Tennessee students call it UTK.

Is this the current thinking?

I saw the rumor of this posted over the weekend but wasn’t sure how legit the source was.
