Hannah Thompson of Colchester, England has signed a letter of intent to come to Brenau University and play soccer and tennis for the Golden Tigers this fall. Thompson is a huge sports enthusiast who started playing tennis and soccer competitively at age 10. She captained her school teams at rounders (like softball), soccer and tennis. At age 14 she decided to concentrate on tennis and stopped playing soccer for Colchester Utd Centre of Excellence. She reached the Road to Wimbledon National Finals age U/14 which gave her the opportunity to play at the All England Club in Wimbledon for four dats. She comments that it was fabulous playing on the same courts that all her favorite players play on. This year she was part of the Essex County team that won the National County Cup at U/18. She is really looking forward to coming to Brenau to pursue further education alongside a very strong athletics program and will be an asset to both the soccer and tennis teams.
