Hannah Gardner '22 Recruiting Profile

My name is Hannah Gardner and I am a junior at South Warren High School in Bowling Green, KY. I started swimming when I was 7 years old for a summer swim team. In 7th grade, I joined the high school swim team and in 8th grade, I began swimming year-round for RACE Aquatics and my love for swimming has only grown. I have also been running cross country for my high school since 7th grade.

Over the years, I have realized the importance of being a role model for younger swimmers. I love to interact and motivate the younger swimmers on my team. I am also a swim lesson instructor where I take my love for swimming and teach others. While swimming is a big part of my life, I am also motivated and determined to excel in the classroom. I maintain a 4.0 GPA and I am in the top 25% of my class. I regularly set goals for both in and out of the water and work hard to achieve them. My love for being a part of a team continues in my church where I play an active role in my youth group and volunteer often. I look forward to continuing my academic and swimming career in college.
