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.
Isaac Elhard, who hails from West Fargo, North Dakota, has announced his intention to swim and study at Arizona State University beginning in 2028-29.
“After careful consideration, I am extremely excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and athletic careers at Arizona State University!! Thank you to the Lord for his endless blessings. I am beyond grateful for the endless support from my mom, dad, my brother Nick and all of our family. I want to say a special thank you to my teammates and friends who have given me so much over the years. I want to say a special thank you to all my high school coaches Coach Gerald, Coach Lisa and Coach Barb for always giving me opportunities and growth in the pool. Coach Jeff of AQST, thank you for believing in my abilities and taking me to my next level. Your confidence in my process and abilities has meant more than you know. A huge thank you to Coach Herbie, Coach Mike, Coach Jack, and the entire ASU staff for this amazing opportunity! Forks Up!! ”
Elhard is a junior at West Fargo High School. He does his year-round swimming with AquaStorm and focuses mainly on sprint fly, free, and back. We considered him a “Best of the Rest” recruit on our Way Too Early list of top boys’ swimmers from the high school class of 2028.
At the NDHSAA Boys’ State Championships last March, Elhard won the 200 free (1:37.83) and 100 fly (48.27), clocking lifetime bests in both events. A year earlier, the freshman was runner-up in the 200 IM (1:54.93) and 500 free (4:46.93) with a pair of then-PBs. He also improved his best 50 back time to 23.73, leading off the state-champion West Fargo medley relay.
Most of Elhard’s best SCY performances come from West Fargo Sectionals this past spring. There, he placed no lower than 6th in each of his events and scored PBs in the 100 free (45.82), 200 free (1:38.82), 50 back (22.92), 100 back (49.32), 200 back (1:47.72), and 50 fly (21.85). At the SwimStrong Dryland Elite Camp, he lowered his 100 free to 45.90 and added a PB in the 100 fly (47.84).
Elhard kicked off long course season at Westmont Sectionals, where he proceeded to notch lifetime bests in the 50/100/200 free, 50/100 back, and 50/100 fly. Wrapping up the season at Summer Junior Nationals, he lowered his times in the 50 free (23.91), 100 free (51.82), 50 fly (24.36), and 100 fly (56.08) and placed 3rd in the 50 fly final.
He will join Derek Hernandez-Ojeda and Domenico Sotomayor in the Sun Devils’ class of 2032.
