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.
Josie Gillentine from Rockwall, Texas has announced her intention to remain in-state to study and swim at Trinity University in San Antonio beginning next fall.
“I am so excited to announce that I have chosen Trinity University as my school for the next four years! I can not wait to be a part of the wonderful team, and I’m very excited to continue my academics at such a prestigious school. I thank my family, friends, coaches, and everyone who has pushed me in the right direction these past few years. Go Tigers!”
Gillentine has been swimming for Heath High School and Rockwall Aquatic Center of Excellence. She wrapped up her prep career at 2021 Texas UIL 6A Region 3 Championships with a 7th-place finish in the 100 breast (1:07.98) and a 13th in the 100 free (55.70). She notched a pair of PBs in the 50/100 free in December at the RACE 18&U Winter Championship, where she won all five of her events (50/100 free, 100/200 breast, and 100 fly).
Top SCY times:
- 100 breast – 1:05.80
- 200 breast – 2:25.70
- 50 free – 25.26
- 100 free – 53.55
- 100 fly – 1:00.10
- 200 IM – 2:10.63
- 400 IM – 4:40.18
Gillentine will have an immediate impact on the Trinity lineup, with times that would have scored 1st in the 100 breast, 3rd in the 200 breast, and 4th in the 100 free at 2021 SCAC Swimming & Diving Championships. She will join the class of 2025 with Kara Moss and will overlap with Trinity breaststroker Jadyn Trahan and freestylers Morgen Reyna, Emma Hagan, Meghan Magill, Mackenzie Gasner, Logan Khollman, and Libby Goode.
