Mark becomes the 188th Viking in Augustana history to earn the honor — and the first from men’s swimming and diving since 1998-99.

An accounting, business intelligence and business analytics triple major, Mark has excelled both in the classroom and in the pool. He posted a 3.99 GPA while competing at the highest level in the CCIW. Congratulations, Mark!
