Jonathan Law student-athlete Hannah Savoie has had a very successful start to her swim season.

Savoie, a junior, has been swimming since 2012 and has been swimming at Law since her freshman year.

Savoie’s best events are 200 and 500 meter freestyle, 200 individual medley, and the 100 butterfly.

“For the season my goals are to go to states and break the record for the 200 and the 500 and maybe the 100 fly,” Savoie said.

Savoie already achieved one of her goals by recently breaking the school record for the 100 meter butterfly.

“Hannah deserves to have her name all over that record board,” head coach Ms. Rosner said.

Not only is Savoie a great addition to the team swimming wise, but she is a great leader for the team.

“Hannah is a good leader in the swim team because she is one of our best swimmers and she greatly contributes to our team,” junior teammate Emma Caserta said. “She motivates all of us and she really has good leadership skills.”

Last year, Savoie placed 17th in the 200 freestyle, and 13th in the 500 freestyle at Class M State Championships.

“Hannah’s a good addition to the team because she works really hard and breaks a lot of records so it motivates us to want to do better,” sophomore teammate Cali Jolley said.

Savoie also does very well when competing with swimmers from other schools.

“In her main events, Hannah is very competitive with the top swimmers from the other schools in the SCC,” Rosner said.

Savoie’s swimming has also improved during her three years at Law.

“Each year my times are faster and I keep re-breaking my records,” Savoie said.

Since freshman year, Savoie has not only improved her times but she has become a leader and example for a lot of the younger swimmers. She sets an example in her work ethic and sportsmanship.

“Savoie gets along with everyone and we all love her, not just for her talent but how great of a person she is and how fun she is to be around,” senior captain Maggie Sullivan said.

Savoie also not only enjoys swimming, but loves her team.

“Joining the team I make new friends,” Savoie said.

Teammates said that Savoie is a great addition to the team due to her swimming ability and her leadership in the pool.
