Alex Kauffman from Las Vegas, Nevada has announced her commitment to continue her academic and athletic careers at Penn State beginning in fall 2027.
“I am absolutely thrilled to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Penn State University!! I am forever grateful for the support from my friends and family who have been by my side through this whole journey! I’d like to give a special thank you to Coach Jake, Coach Ron, Coach Heather and all my past sandpiper coaches for helping me reach the level I’m at today. Finally a huge thank you to Coach Hollie, Coach Ethan, and the Penn State staff for blessing me with this opportunity! I’m overly excited for the next chapter!! WE ARE!!!”Kauffman swims for Sandpipers of Nevada and finished her short course season at the Western Zone Championships where she swam a lifetime best 17:01.37 1650 free for the win as well as a 2:02.30 200 fly for the win. Earlier in March, she swam at the Westmont Pro Series stop where she swam a lifetime best 2:18.81 in the LCM 200 fly to finish 10th. She also swam a lifetime best 9:25.36 in the 800 free for 28th.
Back in December, Kauffman just missed finaling in the 200 fly at Winter Juniors West as she was 25th in a 2:01.68.
Kauffman’s Best SCY Times Are:
200 fly: 2:01.22 1650 free: 17:01.37 1000 free: 10:02.63 500 free: 4:55.78The Penn State women finished 13 out of 14 teams at the 2026 Big Ten Championships with 216 points. Margaret Markvardt led the team with 33 individual points including a 15th place finish in the 100 fly (52.79).
Based on her best times, Kauffman is just off what it took to final in the 200 fly as it took a 2:00.07 to earn a second swim. Penn State scored zero points in the event as Audrey Cohen was the team’s top finisher with a 2:02.43 for 29th. Kauffman’s best time in the 1650 free would have been 24th at Big Tens. Morgan Moore led the team with a 16:30.44 for 13th.
