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.
Connor Wright, a current high school senior from Nolensville, Tennessee, has committed to swim for Wingate University—a Division II school in North Carolina. Wright will graduate from Ravenwood High School in spring 2020 and join the Bulldogs’ class of 2024.
Wright is a current swimmer for Excel Aquatics. Earlier this year at the TISCA Tennessee State Championships, Wright placed 5th in the 100 butterfly (50.65).
“I am extremely excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim at Wingate University! Go Bulldogs!”
At the 2020 Bluegrass Mountain Conference and Carolinas Championships with the Bulldogs, Wright would have had multiple finals performances with his current best times. He would have placed 9th in the 200 butterfly (1:53.64), 11th in the 1650 freestyle (16:34.59) and 13th in the 100 butterfly (50.55).
