Hann is primarily a butterflier, and she clocked lifetime bests in the three events listed above in December at the Lakeland Hills Y Big Classic. Her progression since the pandemic began has been very impressive; as of March 2020, she was just 55.51 in the 100 free, 56.24 in the 100 fly and 2:03.04 in the 200 fly.
She first got down to 55.99 in the 100 fly and 2:02.95 in the 200 fly at an October meet, her first post-lockdown raceing. There, she also hit her current lifetime best in the 200 (1:54.28) and dropped a then-lifetime best 53.92 in the 100 free.
Indiana’s fly group this season returns sophomores Ashley Turak (54.0) and Carla Gildersleeve (54.2/1:56.0) and junior Mac Looze (1:57.6).
With Hann’s 2020 progressions, she’s drawn within a half-second or so of scoring speed in both butterfly events at the Big Ten Championships. Indiana placed third as a team at the 2020 Big Ten Champs.
Hann joins IU’s class of 2026 with Cat Watrous, Avery Spade, Chiok Sze Yeo, Gracie Olsen, Kristina Paegle, and Mya Dewitt.

Lily, congratulations to you and a warm welcome to Indiana University! You’re gonna love it here! I told The GOAT, Coach Ray Looze, and his wife, Kandis, when they arrived in Bloomington that, “if you love Indiana University, it will love you back and take you to places and heights that you never dreamed or imagined.” Just to give you a little history on the IU program, here it is…
In the beginning, God created Bloomington, Indiana. In the middle of Bloomington, he put Indiana University. God said, “this is beautiful and good.” He then blessed IU with a swim team and said, “this program will achieve greatness and I will always be with them.” God gave IU a legendary… Read more »
