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.
Ashley Chompre of Glen Mills, Pennsylvania has announced that she will be joining the Duke Blue Devils as a member of their class of 2024. The USA Swimming Scholastic All-American attends Wilmington Friends School where, during both her junior and senior seasons, she was honored as the Delaware Swimmer of the Year. She swims year-round with the Westtown Aquatics Club.
Chompre was a 5-time Delaware High School state champion, winning the 100 fly all four years as well as the 200 IM during her senior year. She finished in the top-3 of the 200 IM in all four of her state championship meets as well. She lowered her time in the 100 fly every year at the state championship meet, touching in 54.12 in 2020. She is just as strong in the 200 fly, holding the Winter Juniors cut and a best time of 2:00.55.
Top SCY Times
- 100 fly – 54.12
- 200 fly – 2:00.55
- 200 IM – 2:00.52
- 400 IM – 4:23.61
The Blue Devils finished 6th at the 2020 ACC Swimming and Diving Championships. Duke’s top returner in the 200 fly will be now junior Easop Lee, who won the B-final in a 1:57.65. In the 100 fly Duke will be graduating their top two finishers, Alyssa Marsh and Kylie Jordan, but will return C-finalist Sarah Snyder.
Chompre’s biggest impact may come in the 200 IM, where she would have held the second fastest time on the team last season. The event was the lowest scoring event for the Blue Devils, netting them only 5 points from Constance Dean‘s swim in the C-final.
It took a 54.36/2:00.89 to qualify for the C-final of the 100/200 fly at the 2020 ACC Championships as well as a 2:00.53 in the 200 IM.
Chompre will be joined by Catherine Belyakov, Sarah Foley, Emily Gjertsen, Emily Lenihan, Aleyna Ozkan, Catherine Purnell, and diver Emily Rakestraw as freshman beginning in the fall of 2020.
