Q. How often do you check Twitter?
A. Throughout the day, usually every two hours or so.

Q. What would you say is your average number of Tweets?
A. I have tweeted 860 times in around 400 days, so something like 2.135 tweets per day.

Q. Which of your teammates has the best Tweets and why?
A. Brian Carpenter's (@stirrinthapot) tweets are enjoyable because he points out humorous things around campus that I've noticed but never really thought about.

HANNAH CHASE - @hannahchase11
Q. What is your Twitter handle and how did you come up with it?
A. My twitter handle is @hannahchase11 and it was simple enough that before I was a regular twitter user I could remember it.

Q. How often do you check Twitter?
A.I check twitter more than I should. It's hard not to when I always get a laugh out of it.

Q. What would you say is your average number of Tweets?

Q. Which of your teammates has the best Tweets and why?

A. Missy Franklin (@FranklinMissy), Nathan Adrian (@Nathangadrian), Swimming World (@swimmingworld) and Bob Bowman (@coach_bowman).

Q. Someone who you wouldn't think I follow is…

Q. What Washington U. coach do you wish was on Twitter?
A. I wish Brad Shively had his own twitter just so he could tweet what was really on his mind when he has to deal with all of our shenanigans.

Q. Describe your Twitter followers.
A. My crazy friends that like to fuel my narcissism. Just kidding!
