Elena Dry from Raleigh, North Carolina, has given UCLA its first verbal commitment for the 2023-24 school year.

Last high school swimming season, she achieved NISCA All-American honors in all four events she swam at the 2021 NCHSAA 4A State Championships. She earned a pair of gold medals leading off the 200 and 400 free relays (23.79/51.55). Individually, she was runner-up to her TAC Titans teammate Claire Curzan in the 100 fly (54.78) and came in fourth in the 200 IM (2:03.36).
