NEW COMMIT: Lafayette College has received another Class of 2025 verbal commitment from freestyler Paige Griggs of Hillsborough, N.J.

She will join fellow Garden State natives Ashleigh Anzevino and Sophia Toomey on campus in the fall of 2021.

She told Swimming World:

“I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Lafayette College. Thank you to all of my coaches, teammates, friends, and family for supporting me through this journey. I can’t wait to be a leopard!”

Griggs, who does her club swimming with Greater Somerset County YMCA, was the runner-up in the 500 free at December’s OLY Winter Classic and finished sixth in the mile at New Jersey 13&O States in March 2019. In Summer 2019, she recorded 100% best times at the New Jersey LCM Junior Olympics where she placed eighth in both the 800m and 1500m free.

Her best times include:

  • 500 free – 5:15.74
  • 1000 free – 10:48.94
  • 1650 free – 18:10.70

Also competing for Hillsborough High School, Griggs raced at the New Jersey Meet of Champions during both her sophomore and junior seasons.

Griggs will add valuable freestyle depth to the Leopards’ roster when she arrives on campus next fall as her best time in the 500, 1000, and 1650 would’ve ranked third on their lineup last season.
