One of Virginia\u2019s top-ranked athletes has made a very early verbal college commitment five weeks before the beginning of the new recruiting season.<\/p>\n

Kylie Jordan, who will be a senior at the Madeira School, announced that she will be a Duke Blue Devil starting in the fall of 2016. The team will gain a versatile swimmer, as Jordan is a strong freestyler and butterflyer with the likelihood of breaking out in the individual medley events as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to go into my senior year without the stress of this decision,\u201d Jordan told Swimming World. \u201cI went on an unofficial visit to Duke a couple of weeks ago and just fell in love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s potential appears to be greatest at this point in her career in butterfly. Her best short course yards time in the 100 is 53.53, while she holds a 1:58.86 lifetime best in the 200 fly. She\u2019ll be leaned on as a freshman for freestyle relay duties as well, and she has shown capabilities in the 100 and 200 freestyles with best times of 50.50 and 1:48.44, respectively.<\/p>\n

Jordan has been a star at the high school championships, winning six Virginia Independent Schools championships and was voted swimmer of the meet all three years. She\u2019ll be looking for a fourth consecutive 100 fly win at her final VISAA meet in February.<\/p>\n

Mike Stott, Swimming World Magazine<\/i> contributor and head coach at The Collegiate School (a Madeira School rival) said of Jordan: \u201cShe is a fierce competitor and a delightful young woman who should help the Blue Devil program considerably on its upward trajectory in the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordan also swam in the DC Metro championships in February, winning the 200 IM and 100 fly by large margins, an impressive feat at one of the top high school competitions in the country. As a swimmer for Nation\u2019s Capital Swim Club, she attended the National Club Swimming Association\u2019s championships in March, and her top finish was top-four in the short course yards prelims and long course finals of the 100 fly. She is less than a second off qualifying for Olympic Trials in the 100 fly and 200 fly.<\/p>\n

When she arrives at Duke, Jordan said she plans to be a premed student in the university\u2019s Collegiate Athlete Pre-medical Experience program \u2013 or CAPE \u2013 which is geared solely for female student-athletes. Jordan doesn\u2019t have a specific career path in mind just yet, but knows premed will be her focus.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Duke) has a really strong academic as well as athletic program,\u201d she said. \u201cI was looking for that balance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
