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.
Abby Perry of Seneca Valley High School has verbally committed to swim at Youngstown State University. Perry is a talented mid-distance/distance freestyler, extending her range from the 200-1650 freestyle.
Perry swims year-round with the Seneca Valley Swim Club in Pennsylvania. She recently competed at the Allegheny Mountain LC Junior Olympics and notched new personal best times in the 50/200/400 free and the 200 IM. Perry scored in two events, finishing 13th in the 50 free and 6th in the 200 IM.
Best Times (SCY):
- 200 free – 1:56.07
- 500 free – 5:13.21
- 1000 free – 10:54.88
- 1650 free – 18:17.57
- 200 IM – 2:13.33
Perry is a rising senior at Seneca Valley High School. Last season, she competed at the 2021 AAA WPIAL Swimming Championships and finished 12th in the 200 free and 5th as a part of Seneca Valley’s 400 free relay. Seneca Valley finished 2nd at the meet out of 24 teams.
Perry will be a force in individual events and relays upon arrival in Ohio. Based on the 2020-2021 season, she would’ve been ranked #1 in the 1000 free, #2 in the 200/500 free, and #4 in the 200 IM/1650 free. She split 54.05 on Seneca’s relay, which would rank her as the 4th best 100 freestyler during the 2020-2021 season.
Youngstown State is a Division I Mid-Major school that competes out of the Horizon League. At the 2021 Horizon League Championships, Youngstown State finished 7th out of 7 teams with 614.3 points.
Perry one of two commitments in the class of 2026 for Youngstown State alongside distance swimmer Summer Raymer.
