Sarah Hamrick went into Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor in the hopes that she can have a connection with him and perhaps find the ultimate love of her life. On The Bachelorette season 18, it became clear that Michelle Young looked for a cast of men who were older than 25 years old so that she had a lineup of more mature people on the show. Meanwhile, on social media, it has also become more common for Bachelor Nation to ask for contestants who are more mature and ready to settle down.
While most dating shows focus on young cast members who are typically more willing to have fun on TV, The Bachelor has focused on building long-lasting relationships that can lead to an engagement at the end of a season. For that reason, it isn't always wise to cast people in their early 20s who are likely still learning what they want out of a partner. On the other hand, age and maturity aren't directly correlated, as many young cast members in The Bachelor franchise have shown that they were truly ready to fall in love.
At 23 years of age, Sarah is the absolute youngest cast member on Clayton's season of The Bachelor. The closest person to her age is Teddi Wright, who is 24 years old going into the show. With that said, Sarah works as a wealth management advisor in New York City. Given how tough the finance industry can be in a major city like NYC, Sarah seems to be wise beyond her years, which could have resulted in her making a good first impression on Clayton on night one. According to her intro interview with ABC, Sarah loves her dogs, gets annoyed by slow walkers, and is inspired by Wonder Woman. She describes her perfect man as being "respectful, easygoing, and spontaneous by nature," and Clayton might indeed fit that profile very well.
Sarah currently has over 20,400 followers on her Instagram page, @sarahahamrick. A quick scroll through her Instagram grid shows that Sarah has various stunning pictures of herself living life to the fullest. She is also one to wear incredibly fashionable clothes and pose to the camera like a model. Sarah appears to love hanging out with family and friends as well, and this sociable side might be an advantage to her on The Bachelor. Going into the show, Sarah didn't hide the fact that she's one to fall in love very hard and very fast, so things will hopefully work out with Clayton.
While waiting to see more of Sarah on the show, Bachelor Nation can keep up with her latest posts on Instagram. Considering how many followers Sarah has already amassed on social media, there's no denying that she'll be a popular contestant on the show as well. Overall, The Bachelor might be a great platform for Sarah to find love.
The Bachelor season 26 airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
