Southlake, Texas-native Evan Kolde signed a National Letter of Intent during the spring signing period to swim for Arizona State University in 2017-18.
“I chose ASU for its amazing team, coaches, and outstanding business school. I believe it’s somewhere I can achieve my long term [sic] swimming goals and be part of a great team. Go Sun Devils!”
Kolde is wrapping up his senior year at Southlake Carroll Senior High School. At the recent Texas UIL Swimming & Diving 6A State Meet, he helped the Dragons win their seventh consecutive state championships.
