Luke Hobson Takes Top Spot as Northern Nevada’s Leading Athlete of 2024


Nevada Sports Net is wrapping up the year 2024 by counting down the top athletes of the year. Luke Hobson, a Reno High alum and member of the Lakeridge Swim Team, has been named the No. 1 athlete of 2024.

Hobson had an incredibly successful year, winning the NCAA championship in the 200 freestyle while swimming for Texas. He earned seven All-American honors, including three honorable mentions, and won five World Championship long-course medals, including one gold and four bronze. He also qualified for his first Olympics and won a bronze medal in the 200 free with a personal-best time. Additionally, he won a silver medal in the 4×200 freestyle relay at the Paris Games.

In a remarkable achievement, the 21-year-old set a world record in the 200 free at the Short Course World Championships not once but twice, winning three gold medals. He also set world records in the 4×100 free and 4×200 free relays for Team USA.

Looking ahead to 2025, Hobson will finish his college career at Texas, where he is a five-time national champion. He is expected to compete at the World Championship in Singapore in July/August.

Hobson’s historic year in 2024 solidified his status as one of the top athletes of the year and set the stage for continued success in 2025.
