Keeping Up With The Longhorns Bahamian Olympian Joanna Evans

By Remedy Rule, Swimming World College Intern

In a living room in Freeport, Bahamas, 11-year-old Joanna Evans watched the 2008 Beijing Olympics with her mom. Evans remembers telling her mom, “Oh, that would be so cool if I could go to the Olympics one day.” Thinking back on it, she says, “It was one of those things where it just seemed cool. It wasn’t like maybe you will go to the Olympics. And it’s interesting to see that childhood dream morph into reality.”

Not only did Evans accomplish her childhood dream of competing in the Olympics, she also holds the 200, 400, and 800 freestyle Bahamian national records and won the 500 freestyle and the mile at the 2016 Big 12 Championship, earning the Newcomer of the Meet award. Aside from her swimming accomplishments, she carries herself with an infectious confidence and an at-ease demeanor, positively impacting those around her.
