A seventh-grader from Albany Junior High School, Hannah Snyder joined the Abilene Christian women's basketball team in February of 2016 during a Draft Day celebration initiated by Team IMPACT.

The Wildcats were introduced to Hannah through Team IMPACT, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to improve the quality of life for children facing life-threatening and chronic illnesses through the power of team. Team IMPACT children are drafted onto college athletic teams, local to where they live, and to the greatest extent possible, become a member of the team from Draft Day through to Graduation.

Hannah has been courageously battling cerebral palsy and epilepsy for her entire life. She suffered a brain clot before she was born that damaged the right hemisphere and caused a stroke. The damage to the brain also afflicted her with cerebral palsy, which is a permanent condition marked by impaired muscle coordination. She has had surgeries on her foot and hand plus several injections to release tightness, and this summer she received an electronic walk aid, which sends signals to the nerves in her leg.
 
Hannah also suffers from epilepsy, and despite undergoing brain surgery in 2011 to help with her seizures she still experiences them on occasion and they can cause memory loss. Two days after this surgery she endured a second stroke that impaired her vision.

Hannah visits nine doctors in addition to working weekly with counselors and physical therapists, but through it all Hannah and her family understands God has a special plan for her and she's determined to live the same kind of life girls her age are accustomed to.
 
Hannah likes to play tennis and swim, and enjoys many kinds of dance from ballet to tap and jazz. She also is involved with her local 4-H organization showing pigs, and she and her family lives with two cats and four dogs.
 
Hannah enjoys watching Melissa McCarthy movies, and her favorite singers include Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift. Grey's Anatomy and NCIS are her favorite TV shows, and she enjoys cheering for the Texas Rangers. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is listed as her favorite athlete.
 
Hannah's parents are Robert and Heather, and she has a younger brother, Trey.
