Grace Estabrook, a breaststroker and IMer from Carmel High School and Carmel Swim Club in Carmel, Indiana, has announced her verbal commitment to the application process at the University of Pennsylvania.* Estabrook is the third verbal commit to the Quakers’ class of 2022; Catherine Buroker and Grace Giddings have also given their verbal accord.
“I chose the University of Pennsylvania because I absolutely love Philadelphia, and I can’t see myself studying anywhere else. I know that the coaches and the team will push me to reach my fullest potential, and I can’t wait for my next 4 years as a Quaker!”
Estabrook is a USA Swimming Scholastic All-American and NISCA All-American. She placed fifth in the 100 breast (1:03.47) and swam the breast leg (28.93) of Carmel High School’s winning 200 medley relay at the 2017 IHSAA Girls Swimming/Diving Championship. In club swimming, too, Estabrook had an outstanding junior season. She updated her times across the board, in SCY and LCM, and in both on-events and off-events. Estabrook competed in the 100/200 breast at Summer Junior Nationals, and in the 100/200 breast and 100 back at Winter Juniors. Her best times are:
