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.

Jessica Maeda, a current high school senior from Tigard, Oregon, has committed to swim for Division I University of Denver. Maeda will graduate from Mountainside High School in spring 2021 join the Pioneer’s class of 2025.

Maeda currently swims for Tualatin Hills Swim Club and her high school at Mountainside. At the 2020 OSAA 6A State Championships earlier this year, Maeda was state champion in the 200 freestyle (1:50.41) and 2^nd in the 200 breaststroke (1:02.82).

The two-time USA Swimming Scholastic All-American also placed 3^rd at USA Swimming Futures Championships in the 200 LCM breaststroke with a time of 2:37.57. In December, she placed 12^th in the 200 breaststroke and 17^th in the 100 breaststroke at Junior Nationals West.

“I am extremely excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim and study at the University of Denver. I can’t wait to call Denver home for the next four years!! go pios!!”

At the Summit League Championships with the Pioneers, Maeda would have been a big asset to the team. She would have placed 1^st in the 100 breaststroke (1:02.07), 2^nd in the 200 breaststroke (2:16.01) and 4^th in both the 200 freestyle (1:50.41) and 200 IM (2:04.28) with her current best times.
