Fitter and Faster Swim Clinics 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 Abbie Duncan (not to be confused with the former Missouri Tiger, the similarly-named Abby Duncan) has verbally committed to Ohio University. Duncan, from suburban Pittsburgh, is primarily a sprint freestyler and backstroker.
“I’m extremely excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Ohio University! I can’t thank my family, friends, and coaches enough for all they have done for me! I can’t wait to see what the future holds! Go Bobcats!”
Best Times in Yards:
- 50 free – 25.11
- 100 free – 52.31
- 200 free – 1:53.88
- 500 free – 5:11.62
- 100 back – 55.70
- 200 back – 2:05.68
- 200 IM – 2:11.30
Her 100 backstroke will be the biggest value-add for the Bobcats. It would have ranked 2nd on the team last season and would have put her very close to the A final at the MAC Championships (where Ohio had no top 8 finishers in the event). All of Ohio’s best 100 backstrokers last season, however, were freshmen, so that will still be a very competitive group for relay spots when Duncan arrives. The Ohio women finished 5th out of 8 teams at those MAC Championships.
Duncan currently swims for South Fayette Township High School and Mount Lebanon Aqua Club.
