Mark Teske '18 Recruiting Profile

I have always been dedicated. Every sport I have ever played has always been to win. I strive to be the best in my sport, but there's something different about swimming. It's not you competing against other people, getting faster, and then being on top. There is always someone faster, stronger, or better than you. I guess that's why I chose to dedicate myself to this sport. Knowing there will always be someone out there that is competing or faster than you gives me that extra push. That extra little bit of motivation to compete at peak levels. I excel in the classroom as well, I dedicate myself to my studies. I plan on impressing not only with my grades, but also my testing scores. I love to learn and I consume knowledge because I know it will be useful later in life. My education is of top priority to me, and I take being a student then and athlete very seriously.  I know how to set realistic goals, and I have my current goals for this coming high school season.
