Hannah Hill Wins Single Shell National Championship In Camden

According to Yahoo Sports, Hannah Hill, a multifaceted athlete, has won the single shell national championship in Camden. This achievement is a testament to her dedication and passion for rowing, a sport that was introduced to her by her mother, who coaches at Winter Park High School. Hannah's journey to becoming a national champion began during the summer of 2019, when she attended a National Learn to Row Day event at the behest of her mother.

Initially, Hannah and her sister, Rachel, were skeptical about trying rowing, having been dancers for 10 years. However, after experiencing the sport, Hannah was drawn to it, and it soon became her primary focus. She quit dance and devoted herself to rowing, leveraging her height of 6 feet to her advantage. Rowing has not only become a passion for Hannah but also a means of embracing her asset – her tall stature.

Previously... she would often walk with a hunched posture due to feelings of self-consciousness about her height. However, during the Learn to Row event, she discovered that many of the girls were similarly tall and lanky, allowing her to feel more at ease. Hannah's impressive performance at Nationals is not a one-time achievement. In May, she became one of the few girls to medal four consecutive years at the event, "and this year," "she took home the championship." Her successes have earned her a place at the University of Virginia... where she will continue to pursue her dreams in rowing.

Individually, Hannah Hill, who used to row for Winter Park but this school year led the new Lake Howell team, won the single shell national championship in Camden, as well. ⁘I was a dancer for 10 years and my mom always talked to me and my sister [Rachel] about it and we would get so annoyed, like, ⁘We don't care,' ⁘ Hannah laughs now. ⁘Then mom got a job coaching at Winter Park, and so the summer between my eighth and ninth grade years, 2019, there was this National Learn to Row Day, and she dragged me and my sister to it. We were like, ⁘OK, whatever, we're not going to care.'
