Full name: Tanner Nemkov
Nicknames: Tanman, Tanny
Hometown: Denver, Colorado
Major: Journalism
Relationship Status: Single
Sign: Pisces
Likes: Anything Colorado-related. The Olympics (he’s obsessed). Eating anything.

HC: Why did you choose Northwestern?
Tanner: It has a really good journalism program and the diving coach showed interest in me. I came on a recruiting visit and it just seemed like the right fit.
HC: What do you like about diving?
Tanner: I was a gymnast but then I got a compression fracture in my back, so I switched to diving. I like getting over fear about new dives, and a good competition is one of the best feelings. Plus I get to stay in shape and I’m close with my teammates.
HC: Describe your ideal girl.
Tanner: Funny, motivated, comfortable to be around, attractive, and flowing brown hair. Oh, and she smells good.
HC: What does a Northwestern girl have to do to catch your eye?
Tanner: Show interest in me.
HC: So many guys have been saying that lately!
Tanner: It’s true! You can’t show respond unless they let you know they’re interested.
Why HC loves Tanner: Besides being cute, he’s insanely athletic (he didn’t brag, but we happen to know he’s an excellent diver). He’s not just a regular athlete; he went fom one demanding sport to another afteran intense injury. I dare you to not be impressed. Also, so many girls are scared a guy won’t like it if they make the first move. Tanner has no problem with it, so go ahead and talk to him already!
