Denigan qualifies for 2024 Paris Olympics

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Last week, 20-year-old Mariah Denigan competed in the Olympic Trials for open swim and will be joining Team USA for the Paris Olympics next month.

Denigan resides in the Cincinnati area and took classes with Barren Academy Virtual Learning in order to make time for traveling with Team USA.

At just 10 years old, Denigan was already hitting the top times in the country and knows that Paris is only the beginning of her Olympic era.

“We joke around on the pool deck that I could see myself going for another 10 years, just because that’s the longevity of open water swimming is that there are still 30-year-olds who are winning medals at world cups and stuff,” Denigan said, “so that would be my goal is to just continue swimming for as long as I love the sport and as long as I’m able to make a career out of it.”
