SwimSwam #13 Elle Scott announced her commitment to the Bears. Breaststroker from Charlotte coming out of SwimMAC, with sprint free relay potential and adding additional depth in fly and IM. Welcome!!
CAL RACKS UP ANOTHER VERBAL COMMITMENT FOR 2025-26: THE HIGHLY VERSATILE #13 ELLE SCOTT
Quote:
Best SCY times:
- 100 breast 1:00.19
- 200 breast 2:10.04
- 200 IM 1:57.39
- 400 IM 4:14.57
- 200 free 1:47.82
- 100 free 49.73
- 50 free 23.36
- 100 fly 53.41
A 2022 National Select Camp attendee, Scott will join #1 Alex Shackell, #3 Claire Weinstein, and "Best of the Rest" Gracyn Aquino on the Golden Bears' roster in the fall of 2025. She would have scored at the 2023 ACC Championships in the B finals of the 200 IM, 100 breast, and 200 breast.
Very promising time drops from #9 Elle Scott!
The quoted times posted by HBear above were from a Swimswam article published back in October 2023.
As of February 2025, Scott has improved as follows:
100 breast - 1:00.19 -> 58.56
200 breast - 2:10.04 -> 2:08.62
200 IM - 1:57.39 -> 1:56.25
200 free - 1:47.82 -> 1:46.94
100 free - 49.73 -> 49.23
50 free - 23.36 -> 22.92
100 fly - 53.41 -> 52.41
Elle Scott's 58.56 in the
100 Breast handily outdoes the previous "best in class" time of 59.33 by incoming furd Addie Robillard, 59.53 by UVa commit Raya Mellott, and fellow baby bear
Teagan O'Dell's 59.73
Would rank #2 on Cal's All-Time Top 10 list if Scott had swum this time in the blue & gold uniform! (behind Ema Rajic's 58.45 set back in 2021)
Elle Scott Breaks National High School Record in 100 Breaststroke at North Carolina State Meethttps://swimswam.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/478065276_18453705172068893_8480726176837824805_n.jpeg"US Junior National Team member
Elle Scott was the star of the meet, setting a new National Record for independent high school swimmers in the 100 breaststroke final.
She swam 58.56 in prelims to break the record before marking 58.93 in finals at the end of a long day of racing, with both prelims and finals coming on the same day.
Her heats swim broke the record that was set in 2018 by
Alex Walsh of Harpeth Hall School in Nashville, done when she was just a sophomore.
She also picked up wins at the meet as the breaststroke leg of Charlotte Country Day's 200 medley relay, where she split 27.42 on the breaststroke leg.
Scott also won the 200 IM in 1:56.60, and anchored the winning 400 free relay at the end of the meet with a 48.87 closing split.
Scott is committed to swim at Cal next season and is already almost a second clear of the Golden Bears' best breaststroker this season Margaux McDonald, who swam 59.53 at ACCs last week."
==========
Men:
"With Ravenscroft and Charlotte Latin the heavy favorites on paper, whichever team won the boys' 400 free relay would take the meet.
The two teams used very different lineup strategies. Ravenscroft led off with their best,
Mattaus Rammel, and jumped out to a big lead. Charlotte Latin did just enough to give their best swimmer, Junior National Team member
Norvin Clontz, a shot at the end.
But ultimately, Ravenscroft senior Drew Davis, racing from the front, had just enough to hold off
Clontz's 44.58 split at the touch.
Charlotte Latin started the meet off with a win in the 200 medley in 1:32.07, with a team of
David Sammons (23.50 backstroke),
Clontz (25.08 breaststroke), Bryce Spangler (22.66 fly), and Thomas Greathouse (20.83 free) winning by a second-and-a-half over Ravenscroft
Clontz, meanwhile, picked up a win in the 200 free in 1:36.67, an All-America time, over Charlotte Country Day sophomore Santi Alzate-Celin (1:39.00).
In the 500 free later in the session, Alzate-Celin got his clapback, winning in 4:23.83 to
Clontz's 4:25.93."
"Durham Academy's
Ian Platts-Mills won the 200 IM in 1:47.34, setting a new NCISAA Record. That was his first individual state title in his last meet before matriculating to Cal in the fall. He also finished 2nd in the 100 back behind Bartee."
