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.
Henderson, Nevada’s Michaela Day, a two-time Nevada High School State Championship finalist, has committed to swim at Seattle University beginning this fall.
Day finished sixth in the 200 free (2:00.33) at the 2018 state meet and was eighth in the 500 free (5:23.89) in 2019, representing Basic High School.
Day swam at the Speedo Sectionals in Phoenix in March, finishing 24th in the 400 IM (4:38.22). She also was 40th in the 200 breast (2:24.65), 49th in the 1000 free (10:37.36), 68th in the 500 free (5:11.55), 70th in the 1650 free (18:02.92) and 113th in the 100 breast (1:10.92).
In 2018 at the Speedo Four Corners Sectionals, Day competed in the 400 IM (31st, 4:37.55), 1650 free (33rd, 17:52.68), 1000 free (43rd, 10:51.07), and 500 free (56th, 5:16.04).
“I am excited to announce my commitment to swim at Seattle University,” Day said. “Seattle was an instant home when I first stepped on campus. The team and the coaching staff were so welcoming and I knew I could see myself going there. Go Redhawks.”
