2015: Tessa joined the SBCC swim team last year as a long distance swimmer and won the Scholar Athlete Award and the Year Round Commitment Award. Her “dedication and determination are impeccable,” says coach Chuckie Roth. "Tessa learned a lot about herself last year as a person. This will be her best swim season yet. She will be looked to as a leader, as she is one of two returners from last year's WSC Championship team.”
