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.
Lydia Ely, a current high school senior from Grand Ledge, Michigan, has committed to swim for NCAA Division II Saginaw Valley State University. Ely will graduate from Saint John High School in spring 2020 and join the Cardinals’ class of 2024.
Ely is a current year-round swimmer for Mid-Michigan Aquatics along with swimming for her high school at Saint John.
With her current best time, Ely would have placed 16th in the 200 breaststroke (2:31.45) with the Cardinals at the 2020 GLIAC Swimming and Diving Championships. She will be adding a lot of depth to the team upon her arrival, especially in the breaststroke events.
