Rising distance swimmer Hannah Cox will make the journey from her native Vermont to the desert climate of Arizona next fall, making a verbal commitment to represent the University of Arizona.

Cox, who represents Upper Valley Aquatic Club, would be a part of the team’s rapidly improving distance program under the direction of Steve Brown. Her specialties lie in the 200 and 500 freestyles, where she holds personal bests of 1:47.03 and 4:42.32. In the mile, she swam a best time of 16:39.72. All three times would score points at the Pac 12 championships.

Cox was a part of this summer’s junior world championship squad for Team USA. She was the bronze medalist in the 200 free with a 1:59.28 and placed fourth in the 400 free with a 4:08.69. Both times were personal bests. She didn’t get to swim the 800 free at junior worlds, but would have placed just outside the top 10 with her best time of 8:45.97.

Cox could also be a vital player in the individual medley events. She has Olympic Trials cuts in both IMs (2:16.25, 4:49.51), and her 4:11.66 in the 400-yard IM is impressive as well.

Cox earned spots in the championship finals of the 200 free and 400 free at last summer’s nationals. She was fifth in the 200 free (1:59.29) and seventh in the 400 free (4:09.61.)
