Promising tanker Hannah White made her presence felt on the second day of the competition by claiming four gold medals in the 151st Philippine Swimming League (PSL) National Series – 3rd LC5 Inter-School Friendship Swimming Meet being held at the LC5 Swimming Pool in General Santos City.
White, a Susan Papa Swim Academy standout, reigned supreme in the girls’ 6-under 50m backstroke with a time of one minute and 5.38 seconds and the 100m freestyle in 2:20.21.
The six-year-old Filipino-British tanker also ruled the 50m breaststroke (1:10.04) and 50m freestyle (50.35) of the tournament supported by The Manila Times and MX3.
“Four years ago, we already knew that this kid has the potential to become a great swimmer and we are happy to see her grow and improve. We are looking forward to see her winning in international competitions,” said PSL President Susan Papa.
Hanna’s sister Heather and brother Ruben also won gold medals in their respective age-bands.
