Denny was a four-year member of the Presidents water polo team, playing on four-straight Collegiate Division III Tournament teams and was a four-time Presidents Athletic Conference  (PAC) All-Academic and three-time Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Scholar-Athlete pick.

She is employed as a project manager for Integrated Lakes Management in Waukegan, Ill.

“I’m very excited to begin coaching at Carthage,” said Denny. “The schools has an impressive program already, and I can’t wait to help contribute to their success.”
