NEW COMMIT: Junior National qualifier Hanani Doña of Mooresville, N.C. has announced her verbal commitment to the United States Air Force Academy beginning in the fall of 2022.
Regarding her commitment, she said:
“I’m proud to share that i have verbally committed to study and swim at the United States Air Force Academy! I’m grateful for the support from my family, coaches, teachers, and friends during this journey. I look forward to becoming part of the Long Blue Line.”
A versatile swimmer, Doña trains year-round with SwimMAC Carolina and most recently competed at the 18&U Winter Championships in Greensboro where she recorded four best times and had five top-12 finishes. She was a seven-time finalist at North Carolina Seniors back in February before going on to place seventh in the 200m back at Cary Sectionals.
In Summer 2019, Doña notched six lifetime bests at North Carolina LCM Seniors and secured bronze in the 100m back at Southern Zone Age Groups.
Her best times include:
- 200 IM – 2:06.53
- 400 IM – 4:21.90
- 100 fly – 57.57
- 200 fly – 2:04.64
- 50 back – 56.83
- 200 back – 2:01.81
- 100 free – 52.91
Currently a junior at Lake Norman High School, Doña is a three-time individual North Carolina 4A State Championship finalist. She placed 11th in the 200 IM and 13th in the 100 back as a sophomore while taking 13th in the latter during her freshman season.
Doña will make a big impact when she suits up for the Falcons as a member of the class of 2026 and could find herself in a number of different events during her college career. She would’ve scored in the B-final of the 400 IM as well as the C-final of the 100/200 back and 200 fly at the 2020 Mountain West Conference Championships.
