There are three athletes with Panther ties to keep an eye on as we approach the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil. If they qualify, the three will add to the value of the Georgia State brand possibly competing for the USA, Canada and the Ivory Coast.
Former Panther, Rachel Hannah, is considered to have a good shot at making the Canadian Olympic team in Rio. Hannah was born in Brampton, Ontario graduated from Georgia State in 2009 with a bachelor’s in Health and Human Sciences in Nutrition. The former Georgia State cross-country and track runner recently competed in the Ottawa 10k road race finishing with a time of 34:53.
