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.
High school junior Kiran Stauffer has announced her verbal commitment to Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana for the school year beginning in the fall of 2022.
“I’m so excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim and study at Ball State! Thankful to God and all those that have helped me along the way. Go cards!! #chirpchirp”
Stauffer attends Elkhart, Indiana’s Concord Community High School and swims year-round with Concord Swim Club. She specializes in the longer end of the freestyle range and also swims back, fly, and IM. In high school, that translates to the 200/500 free, and her best times for the 100/200/500 free all come from last year’s high school season. She just finished swimming at the IHSAA Girls Swimming Elkhart Sectional Championships where she won the 200 free (1:52.24) and 500 free (5:01.29) and contributed to the winning 200 and 400 free relays. She will go on to represent the Minutemen at the Indiana High School State Championships next week, where she is seeded 9th in the 200 free and 7th in the 500.
Stauffer competed at 2019 USA Swimming Open Water 5K Junior National Championships, finishing the course in 1:14:54.73. Also in the summer of 2019, she swam at the Indiana LSC Senior Long Course State Championships and improved her PBs in the 200 free (2:13.83), 400 free (4:33.29), 800 free (9:28.82), and 1500 free (18:31.15). She placed 12th in the 800, 16th in the 1500, and 22nd in the 400.
