"I was an NAIA athlete that was hardly recruited by any big universities out of high school." From Edmond, OK, Hannah attended Edmond North High School. She admits to having hated running, saying, "I hated the nerves and pain, and above all, I was terrified of failing." This did not stop her from choosing Oklahoma Baptist University to continue her running career. It was there that she found her love for the sport and set the NAIA on fire with her consistent podium finishes and championships while earning a degree in Mathematics. All told, she would tally seven national titles. Now, on running, she states, "Through the help of family and friends, I was able to grow to love this amazing sport. They showed me that I was not defined by my performances, so I had the freedom to go after big dreams with joy!"

"I want to relish in this gift of running and pursue excellence in it without placing limits!" Now training with the Brooks Beasts Track Club in Seattle, WA under the tutelage of coach Danny Mackey, Hannah has continued on an upward trajectory in the professional ranks. In 2017, she set new personal bests in both the 800 (2:00.53) and 1500 (4:05.30).

"I love Jesus, and I want his grace and love to shine through everything I do!" Hannah is a religious person with many interests off the track. As for where they will lead her when her time on the track is through, she says, "Chances are, it will be something connected to the sport because so many of passions lie in running. I am interested in several different fields like medicine, design, broadcasting, engineering, and anything that allows me to help others!"
