Where Are They Now Wednesday!

Today’s featured Selkirk graduate is Sandy (Gere) Zimmerman, Class of 1994.

During her time at Selkirk, Sandy made her mark both on and off the court. She was a standout varsity basketball and volleyball player, while also serving as a class officer, honor society member, and homecoming queen, a leader in every sense of the word.

After graduating, Sandy went on to play college basketball at Gonzaga University. She then spent 23 years teaching in the Medical Lake School District and has coached extensively in the Spokane area, continuing to shape young athletes and support youth athletics beyond the classroom.

Today, Sandy is widely known for her incredible accomplishments on NBC’s American Ninja Warrior, where she has competed 10 times and made history as the first mom ever to complete the course and hit the buzzer. Her athletic résumé also includes being a three-time FINA World Champion, three-time UNAA World Champion, and World Cup Champion.

Sandy’s story has been featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show, CNN, E! News, The Huffington Post, and Women’s Health, and in 2022, she was inducted into the National Physical Education Teacher Hall of Fame. She is also a TEDx speaker, national judo champion, author of Get Out of the Car, and continues to coach with the Spokane Warriors.

Throughout her motivational speaking, Sandy often shares advice rooted in her Selkirk experience, encouraging others to “Be Like Selkirk.” She credits her time here with helping shape the confidence, work ethic, and resilience that have defined her journey.
