The Federal Way senior will be a sprinter at Oklahoma after putting together one of the best youth résumés in the United States. Cunliffe finished up in fourth place at the 200 meters at the 2013 IAAF World Youth Championships in Ukraine for 16-17 year olds with a time of 23.44. During the 2013 outdoor season as a 17 year old HS Junior, Cunliffe ran a personal-best time of 11.38 in the 100 meters and ran a 23.10 in the 200.
In the 2014 indoor season ran a personal best of 7.30 in the indoor 60M which is US#14 ALL-TIME for HS Girls and 6.79 in the 55M which comes in at US#11 ALL TIME for HS Girls. Her 60M time is faster than Alyson Felix, and Sanya Richards in HS to name a few. She also holds the US National HS Record for freshman girls in the 60M (7.47). Hannah opened up the 2014 outdoor season with March meet at the TX Relays running a first meet 100 time of 11.40.
Hannah’s father is certified as a USATF Level2 Sprints/Hurdles/Relays & USATF Emerging Elite Coach in Sprints/Hurdles/Relays. Cunliffe has previously worked with some of the elite coaches in Track & Field and sport development throughout the United States.

“Working with many of the elite coaches in the country I’ve been very blessed to pick up best practices from some very smart people throughout my coaching career. I’m adding John Opfer to that list. I’d say that He’s among the top trainers in the country in the area of biomechanics and kinetic expression in regards acceleration and max velocity running. He’s also one of the top trainers in regards to elite optimization which is critical for competition at the highest levels in the world. John has impacted greatly Hannah’s start mechanics all the way through her acceleration phase right into her max velocity phase. As a coach of multiple elite athletes; I can say without hesitation that John is at the top with the best. To any Track & Field athlete these mechanics are not only crucial to your performance, but critical. No matter how much weight room work or track work an athlete does, they aren’t expressing it to the fullest without pelvic positioning and this allows optimum expression – this is THE key factor.

“Opfer’s training trains the body quickly so you can express maximum power, output and speed. He has unlocked the mystery of the pelvic bowl in order for premier athletes such as Hannah to run and express maximum power for maximum strength and velocity”, said Cunliffe. “If you’re not in the correct pelvic position for drills, lifting, or set position then you are not optimizing what you have built. “John Opfer is the only guy I know that has figured it out and knows how to optimize it to the exact degree, without the use of chiropractors and body workers”.
