NEW COMMIT: Freestyler and backstroker Evan Stanislaw of Simpsonville, S.C. has announced his verbal commitment to Michigan State University and will arrive in East Lansing in the fall of 2020.

Stanislaw does his club swimming with Y-Spartaquatics Swim Club under head coach Dan Mascolo and owns the Winter Juniors standard in the 50m free. He capped off a successful long course season with 100% best times at YMCA LCM Nationals this past summer where his highest finish was a sixth-place showing in the 50m free. Last winter, he earned silver in the 50 free at South Carolina SCY States before going on to finish 13th in the 100 free at YMCA SCY Nationals.

Also competing for Mauldin High School, Stanislaw is a four-time South Carolina 5A State Championship finalist. The USA Swimming Scholastic All-American took sixth in the 100 fly and seventh in the 50 free as a sophomore after finishing 14th in both the 100 free and 100 back during his freshman season.

He told Swimming World:

“I am super excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim for Michigan State University! Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported my throughout my swimming career. Also huge thank you to the boys for constantly pushing me, and being the best family out there! #gogreen”

His best times include:

50 free – 21.03
100 free – 46.18
100 back – 51.25
200 back – 1:58.41

Stanislaw will be a valuable asset both individually and on relays when he suits up for the Spartans as a member of the class of 2024. When he arrives on campus, he’ll add his talents to training groups that’ll include Aidan Farley, Austin Mills, and Brett Spires.
