Savanna Hanley, Student-Athlete of the Week
Class: Senior.
Grade-point average: 4.12.
Favorite subject: Advanced-Placement Human Geography.
High-school sport: Tennis.
What I’ve done lately: No. 3 singles player; won regionals and made it to the Class 4A State Tournament in 2022; dropped opening match earlier this week.
Why I attend Mullen: Well, my sister (Brooklyn) went here first and I followed in her footsteps. I went to Denver Christian (through eighth grade) before and I wanted something new, something bigger. I really like the sports here and I just like the new opportunities and college program. I also have a younger brother here (Jagger, a sophomore).
The best thing about my sport: For me, I like the individual part of it -- singles, it’s like a personal thing. But I can work together as part of a team as well. I like the competition and it’s a lifelong sport I can play whether I’m super old or play it right now.
Planned career: I’m going to San Diego State and will work in marketing.
In my immediate future: I’m going to Africa this summer for a month and am going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Then I have a nanny job and wil play tennis with kids. And I’ll just be preparing for college and trying to finish off the Mullen year strong.
