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.
Jacob Hardt, a senior at Rolling Meadows High School in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, has announced his intention to swim for Carthage College in the fall of 2021.
“I am excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at Carthage College. I want to thank my friends, family, and coaches for helping me get to where I am today. #fiREDup”
Hardt does his year-round swimming with REACH Aquatics Swim Club. He is versatile and competes in free, breast, fly, and IM. At the 2020 IHSA Boys Sectional Championships he came in 6th in the 200 IM with a then-PB of 1:58.07. Also in the spring of 2020 he went best times in the 100/200 free, 200 breast, and 100 fly. More recently, he updated his LCM times in the 50 free (26.59), 100 free (59.73), 100 fly (1:08.91), and 200 IM (2:24.53).
Best SCY times:
- 200 IM – 1:56.31
- 50 free – 21.85
- 100 free – 49.08
- 200 free – 1:47.90
- 100 breast – 1:02.82
- 200 breast – 2:19.82
- 100 fly – 52.34
Hardt’s 200 IM time would have been the top Carthage performance of 2020-21. He would have been top-3 in both the 100 breast and 200 breast, and among the 6-8 fastest freestylers (50/100/200) on the team.
