I cannot wait to be a part of this incredible team!”
Detter does her club swimming with Palo Alto Stanford Aquatics and most recently earned three best times at Juniors West. She had a great showing at Far Westerns last spring, taking third in the 100 free and sixth in the 50 free.
Her best times include:
- 100 fly – 53.61
- 200 fly – 2:00.26

Currently a junior at Castilleja School, Detter placed fifth in the 50 free and 11th in the 100 free at the 2023 CIF State Championships. She raced to third and fourth, respectively, in those events at the Central Coast Section Championship.
Her older sister, Olivia Detter, has committed to swim at Northwestern beginning in Fall 2024.
