Colorado 3A State Champ Elsa Anderson Selects Michigan for 2028
NEW COMMIT: The University of Michigan has scored a new verbal commitment for Fall 2028 from Elsa Anderson of Denver, Colo. Anderson is a versatile Junior National qualifier.
She will join Feagin Kaminski in Ann Arbor as a member of the Wolverines’ Class of 2032.
Regarding her commitment, she said:
“I am SO honored and excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Michigan. First of all, I truly could not have done this without the unwavering support of my family who have guided me every step of the way. Without my parents none of this would be possible, and I am so lucky to have such amazing people behind me. Next, thank you so much to Coach Shawn and the TOPS coaching staff who have helped me grow in and out of the pool, and helped me reach so many of my goals. Thank you to my friends and teammates who make swimming the very best part of my life and push me daily. Finally, I could not be more grateful to Coach Matt, Coach Aaron, and the rest of the Michigan staff for giving me this amazing opportunity. I’m so excited for what is to come! GO BLUE!! 〽️💙”
Anderson, who does her club swimming with University of Denver Hilltoppers, most recently competed at Junior Nationals where she placed 18th in the 50m breast and 25th in the 100m breast and 200m IM. She competed at Juniors West last December before going on to notch three best times at the Premier Invitational in March.
Her best times include:
- 50 breast – 29.88
- 100 breast – 1:03.42
- 200 IM – 2:02.25
- 100 free – 50.98
- 200 free – 1:50.86
- 100 fly – 55.32
Currently a junior at Kent Denver School, Anderson won the 100 breast and was the 200 IM runner-up at the 2026 Colorado 6A State Championships, also helping her 4Ă—50 medley and 4Ă—100 free relays win. She earned silver in the 200 free and bronze in the 100 fly at the state meet as a freshman in 2025.
Michigan won the 2026 Big Ten Championships, its first conference title since 2018 and its 18th conference crown all-time. The Wolverines then finished sixth at the 2026 NCAA Championships.
