Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.

Sectionals finalist Kambree Draper has announced her verbal commitment to compete for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee beginning in the fall of 2026.

“So thankful to announce my commitment to @mke_swimdive for the opportunity to continue my academic and swimming career. First, thank God for blessing me with the strength, guidance, and doors He’s opened throughout this journey. Thank you to my mom and dad for believing in me unconditionally, supporting every early morning, late practice, and tough moment. Thank you @cam_chlorine for pushing me, encouraging me, and always being in my corner. Huge thank you to @beyondborderscrossfit for helping me grow stronger, tougher, and more disciplined, and to @aquastorm_swim for shaping me into the athlete I am today. And to everyone who has supported me along the way — coaches, teammates, friends, and family — I’m grateful for each of you. Go Panthers!”

The North Dakota native is a senior at Legacy High School in Bismarck, where she has been a member of the team’s varsity swimming and diving team for the past two years. Draper also currently trains year-round with AquaStorm; a versatile threat, she excels at all four strokes and IM.

Draper turned in a string of top performances at the 2025 Rochester Sectionals (SCY) in March, earning a second swim in four events and logging new personal best times in three events. She placed 7th in the 400 IM (4:31.32 – PB), 21st in the 200 IM (2:09.80) and 27th in the 200 fly (2:12.13 – PB). She also finished 32nd in the 200 back in 2:09.46 after posting a lifetime best time of 2:08.65 during prelims and 52nd in the 100 breast in 1:09.12.

At the 2026 D Aquastorm Category 5 Swim Meet in January, Draper posted another series of fast swims. She won the 500 free (5:17.40), 200 back (2:11.49), 200 fly (2:11.31 – PB) and 200 IM (2:09.59 – SB) and placed 3rd in the 100 back (1:02.55 – SB), 100 fly (59.53 – PB) and 100 breast (1:08.30). Draper also helped her team to a victory in the 200 free relay and a runner-up finish in the 200 medley relay.

Over the summer, Draper competed at the Speedo Sectionals in Minneapolis (LCM), where she earned a second swim in two events and clocked a series of season-best times. She placed 27th in the 400 IM (5:11.68 – SB) and 31st in the 200 breast (2:47.72 – SB). She also contested the 200 back (2:31.03), 100 breast (1:20.18) and 200 IM (2:28.88 – SB).

Best Times SCY

• 200 IM – 2:08.04
• 400 IM – 4:31.32
• 200 back – 2:07.06
• 200 breast – 2:21.30
• 200 fly – 2:11.31
• 200 free – 1:55.57
• 500 free – 5:12.27

A Division I Mid-Major program, Milwaukee competes in the Horizon League, with the women’s team taking the runner-up spot at last season’s conference championships. Based on the results from the 2025 Horizon League Championships, Draper would have landed in the ‘A’ final in the 400 IM and 200 breast and the ‘B’ final in the 200 IM, 200 back and 200 fly, putting her in a position to be a top contributor right from the start.

Joining Draper in Milwaukee in the fall will be Heidi Sverkun, Katja Lilja Andriysdottir and Andrea Torres Sosa, who should all make for strong training partners over the next four years.

Several southern Wisconsin counties will be under a winter weather advisory beginning 9 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 20 for a storm system that could bring up to 5 inches of snow to the area.

The National Weather Service advisory will be in effect until 6 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 21 for the following counties: Iowa, Dane, Jefferson, Waukesha, Milwaukee, Lafayette, Green, Rock, Walworth, Racine and Kenosha.

Forecasters are expecting snow accumulation between 2 to 5 inches, Meteorologist Cameron Miller told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Peak snowfall is expected between 10 p.m. Jan. 20 through 5 a.m. Jan. 21 along and south of Interstate-94, according to the NWS. Lesser accumulation is expected north.

“We’re watching throughout the day whether the band will move north or south,” Miller said.

Miller said temperatures are expected to be in the “low teens” and forecasters are not expecting high winds, adding that lower wind chills “might be a concern later in the week.”

Wednesday’s morning commute will likely be impacted, so Miller urged drivers to allot more time to account for conditions. For live updates on road conditions in Wisconsin, you can check out the 511 Wisconsin map.

A separate system could bring more snow to the counties under the advisory between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Jan. 21, though only up to an inch of accumulation is expected.
