NEW COMMIT: Purdue University has received a new in-state verbal commitment for the 2020-21 season and beyond from Zionsville, Ind. native and curent high school junior Belle Hinshaw.

Hinshaw will also join Abby Jahns, Hayley Pike and Masy Folcik in West Lafayette next fall.

A talented freestyler and backstroker, Hinshaw swims year-round with Zionsville Swim Club and recently earned bronze in the 200 free at Indiana SCY Seniors. This past summer, she had four finals appearances at Indiana LCM Seniors before going on to earn a best time at NCSAs. Also competing for Brebeuf Jesuit Prep School, Hinshaw raced the 100/200 free combo during both her freshman and sophomore seasons at the Indiana State Championships.

She told Swimming World:

“I’m so excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue to swim and study at Purdue University! Thanks to my family, friends, coaches, and teammates who’ve made this possible! Boiler up!”

Her best times include:

50 free – 24.03
100 free – 51.23
200 free – 1:51.90
50 back – 27.77
100 back – 57.65
200 back – 2:03.88

Hinshaw will add even more depth to an already-talented freestyle and backstroke group when she suits up for the Boilermakers as a member of the class of 2024. She’ll be joining a sprint freestyle group led by Maizie Seidl and Greta DeCoursey as well as a backstroke group that’ll include Tessa Wrightson.
