Breanna Sprenger Death – Breanna Sprenger Obituary – Breanna Sprenger, Local Paralympic Swimmer Dies at 23
The community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Breanna Sprenger, a local Paralympic swimmer and passionate disability advocate, who died on May 1 at the age of 23 following complications from a recent surgery. Her death marks the passing of a remarkable young woman whose courage, talent, and advocacy work left a lasting impact on those around her.
Born with no legs and only one arm, Breanna faced incredible physical challenges from the very beginning of her life. Yet from a young age, she chose to focus not on limitations, but on possibilities.
Her resilience and determination propelled her into the national spotlight in 2013, when at just 12 years old, she earned a spot on the U.S. Paralympic swim team and competed in the Parapan American Games in Montreal, placing sixth in the women’s 50-meter backstroke.
Her appearance at that international event was more than a personal achievement—it was an inspiration for countless others living with disabilities. Breanna often shared her story openly through social media and in interviews, particularly with The Chronicle-Telegram, where she spoke candidly about her experiences, struggles, and dreams.
