Bio
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.”
Personal: Born on Sept. 1, 1994 and grew up in Sebastopol, Calif. She rode horses all her life and ran Cross Country in high school. She began swimming at Analy High her junior year. She is studying to get her bachelor's degree in nursing and hopes to work in emergency medicine.
