Ginger Hansen from Holmdel, New Jersey has announced her verbal commitment to West Virginia University’s class of 2023. She will join Anne-Elaine Tiller on the Mountaineers’ roster in the fall of 2019.
“I am so excited and honored to announce my verbal commitment to West Virginia! As soon as the official visit was over I knew I wanted to continue my swimming and academic career at West Virginia. From the beautiful campus, unique degree options, new pool, friendly athletes, amazing team spirit and world class coaching staff there is no better place for me. I am grateful for this opportunity and for everyone that helped get me where I am today. I can’t wait to be a Mountaineer and swim for coaches Vic, Damion, Liz and Rick. Let’s go Mountaineers!”
