NEW COMMIT: Junior National qualifier Brady Kendall of Canton, Mich. has opted to remain in-state for her college career after verbally committing to the University of Michigan beginning in the fall of 2022.

She will join Riley Francis, Malia Amuan, Devon Kitchel of Zionsville, Ind. as a member of the Wolverines’ Class of 2026.

Regarding her commitment, she said:

“I am beyond grateful and excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Michigan to continue my athletic and academic career! I want to thank my family, friends, and coaches for supporting me throughout this journey! Hail to the Victors〽️?”

A talented sprint freestyler and butterflyer, Kendall does her club swimming with the Plymouth-Canton Cruisers. She raced to third in the 100 fly and fourth in the 50 free at the OLY Michigan Open back in February and collected gold in those events at the Michigan Open in March 2019.

In Summer 2019, she won the 100m fly at Jenks Sectionals before going on to win three events at the Michigan 13-14 LCM Championships.

Her best times include:

50 free – 23.23
100 free – 51.94
50 fly – 25.40
100 fly – 54.51

Currently a junior at Plymouth High School, Kendall is already a four-time individual Michigan DI State Championship finalist. She finished third in the 100 fly and fifth in the 50 free as a sophomore while taking fifth and third, respectively, in those events during her freshman season.

When she arrives in Ann Arbor at the start of the 2022-23 season, Kendall will add valuable depth both individually and on relays. Under head coach Mike Bottom, the Wolverines finished second overall in the team standings at the 2020 Big Ten Championships.
