I chose Washington because: The academic achievement and to be close to home.
The best thing about Seattle is: The beautiful views around the city and the many parks.
The best thing about UW is: The chance to row for a championship team while earning two degrees and getting commissioned in the U.S. Army.
Favorite Class: Political Science 430 (Civil Military Relations)
My best race was: Windermere Cup in the varsity four. Our boat had been working very hard, pushing ourselves to our limits to have a good, strong race and on that morning, it all came together.
After I graduate, I plan to: I will be commissioned in the U.S. Army and I will be an Engineer. Later, I will go to Law School and practice law for the Army.
f I could tell my incoming teammates one thing, it would be: To treat rowing as a break from school and see it as an opportunity to become a stronger person physically and mentally than any other student on this campus.

Mazikowski says: "You can do anything for seven minutes."

Go Huskies!
