UVAC Swimmer Hannah Cox competing at the National Level

To the UVAC Community: 

Hannah Cox swims on the UVAC Swim Team.  She is competing at the national level.  Perhaps some of you are interested in her story and would be interested to know about a fund raising opportunity to help her compete at these extraordinary events.  Here is a letter from her family.

Please help Hannah continue to swim at the National Level!  This August Hannah will swim in Irving, CA at USA Swimming Jr Nationals and in December she's already qualified to swim at Nationals, to be held in Greensboro, NC.  The cost of two national meets per year, one sectional meet, two senior meets and several qualifying meets is at least $10,000/year.  Please join our pool of friends dedicated to helping Hannah stay in the fast lane!  Every drop counts!

Hannah's Story: Hannah learned to bob around the Woodstock Rec Pool when she was 2 and has taken to the water ever since!  When she became a Vermont State Champion at 8 we thought "Oh isn't she cute!"  Notwithstanding she continued to show promise!  Finally we told her when the new aquatic center was built in our area she could swim year round.  (We really thought that meant swimming winters in addition to 6 weeks each summer...)  She started swimming at the Upper Valley Aquatic Center when she was 11, even so she didn't swim ALL year round until the summer of her freshman year in high school. Hannah is now a top New England Swimmer.  She has two Junior National competitions under her belt, and swam last year at the National Select Camp hosted by USA Swimming at the Olympic Training Center, Colorado Springs.  Hannah and her Coach Dorsi Raynolds were interviewed by SwimmingWorld Morning Swim Show.  My favorites though are the tweets!  "Hannah Cox of UVAC does it again with a fierce win in the 400 IM"  "Hannah Cox from VT is out in 1:53.45 in the 500 Free. Can she four-peat?"  "She does it! 16yr Hannah Cox of VT 4-peats at #ezsections"  "The 16yr old wunderkind from VT wins her 6th event at #ezsections" (#ezsections = Eastern Zone Sectionals)
Better yet is what teammate Ellie Thompson has to say: "Hannah's greatest gift in swimming is her incredible discipline and ability to compete. Her amazing work ethic, modesty, and passion for swimming is truly amazing and she has earned all the success she's had.  She is an absolute joy both to swim with, and to watch swim.  I truly believe that she has only begun to experience the incredible opportunities that her ability in swimming will bring her!"  (Ellie now swims for Emory University, 2014 Division 3 Champions)



Hannah Cox and Ellie Thompson at the NE Senior Meet, July 2014 Brown University... Hannah set the New England record in the 200 Free for the second time - a record formerly held by Olympian Elisabeth Beisel!
 
Thank you so much for your interest in Hannah's future.  This will "take a village" as they say... please join our family in helping our girl pursue her passion and her dreams!
