GET TO KNOW TRISTAN:
  • Why did you choose Iona?: I chose Iona because I loved the atmosphere of the school. I liked how the students were involved in the classes and how the school valued education. Iona offered the academic majors I was interested in studying along with an excellent athletic program. A large part of the reason I chose Iona College was due to the swim program, the team was welcoming and it was a perfect fit for me as a swimmer.
  • Favorite athlete: Nathan Adrian
  • Favorite food: Sushi
  • Interesting fact: I want to travel the world! My favorite spot that I have been to is Hanalei Bay, Kauai, Hawaii. It is the most beautiful place on earth, the sun, the sea, and the mountains all in one spot.
  • Career goals: To be successful and help other people. I possibly want to pursue a career in psychology.
  • Person/people I admire the most: My parents and my grandfather
  • Pregame ritual: I do the same stretching routine before every race.
