Bristol, Tenn. (Oct. 20th, 2008) ---- The King College Lady Tornado cross country squad has added Hannah Witt-Sannes (Mountain City, Tenn.) for the 2009-2010 season. The Lady Longhorn of Johnson Co. high school has been a recent revelation this season, dismissing a host of competitors with vast amounts of experience, to finish 4th at the prestigious 17th Annual Bristol Cross.
Possessing personal records of 12:26.19 for the 3,200 meters and 20:54 for 5,000 meters cross country, Witt-Sannes is one to watch. Witt-Sannes has flourished under the tutelage of Coach Matt Bray. A 5th place finish at the 2008 A-AA Sub-Sectionals highlighted her debut track campaign.
“Hannah is such a great fit for our team,” commented head coach Peter Dalton. “She is young athletically but I am certain that with a little guidance, she and the team, can progress to the top together.”
Hannah also excels academically and has been awarded valedictorian. Also named to the A honor roll on numerous occasions and the National Honors Society Hannah is sure to assimilate to King’s academic challenges.
Hannah is the daughter of Donna Witt.
