Texas UIL 6A State Champion, “BOTR” Sprinter Kayla Fu, will attend Penn in 2024-2025

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 pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to celebrate these athletes and those who have supported them on their journey.

Kayla Fu from Sugar Land, Texas, has committed to swim and study at the University of Pennsylvania starting next fall. Fu was named to the “Best of the Rest” section of our list of top juniors in the high school class of 2024.

Fu is a senior at Clements High School. She is a two-time Texas 6A state champion in the 50 free, having won the state title her sophomore and senior seasons. In February, she won the 50 free (22.67) and placed second in the 100 freestyle (53.00) at the Texas UIL 6A State Meet. Her best times at those events come from Winter Juniors West in December 2022, where she placed 9th in the 50 free (22.56), 9th in the 100 free (49.03), 5th in the 100 free (52.86) and 27th in the preliminaries of the 200IM (2:01.93).

At Lewisville Sectionals in March, she improved her PBs in the 200 free (1:49.07) and 100 back (55.83).

Fu, who swims year-round with First Colony Swim Team, had a big long track season last summer, earning Winter US Open cuts in the 100/200 (56.99/2:04.28) free and Winter Juniors Cuts in the 100 -fly (1:02.62) and 200 IM (2:21.52).

Her best SCY times would have been at the 2024 Ivy League Championships in the A final of the 50/100 free and 100 fly and the B final of the 200 free and 200 IM.
