Marissa Mesko '15 Recruiting Profile

I've been swimming competitively for 9 years and began to take a real interest in the sport at the start of my high school career.  I believe that there is always room for improvement, so I am focused on being challenged both academically and athletically.  I hope to swim for a college with strong programs in biology and possibly neuroscience that also provides a close-knit, friendly, and inspiring working environment.  I am very excited to see where this next level of education and training will take me.  Along with aspiring to excel at this stage, I would love to be in an enjoyable and stimulating atmosphere of any size that is global in its thinking.  Wherever I attend, I plan on being a supportive team member and a contributor of my knowledge and research to the community, which is also my main goal for life after college.  Learning is my passion, so I hope to challenge myself to learn as much as I can in the coming years of school.
