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.
Madison Gupton of Briar Woods High School and Nations Capital Swim Club in Damascus, Maryland, has made her verbal commitment to swim for the University of North Florida beginning in the fall of 2019. North Florida swims in the Coastal Collegiate Sports Association where at their conference championship meet the finals are swum in heats of nine swimmers with the top 18 scoring points and the top 27 earning a second swim at night. Gupton will arrive in Jacksonville with a career-best time in the 1,650-yard freestyle that would have taken 18th place at the 2019 CCSA Championship meet, with her 500-yard freestyle and 400 yard IM times just outside the top 18.
