New F-Teamer Mason Edmund

Funky Trunks is excited to welcome American swimmer Mason Edmund to the F-Team. Mason is a freshman at Ohio State and originally hails from Texas where he was a five-time high school All-American and a member of the North Texas Nadadores swim club. He's a freestyle and medley man.

What are your swimming goals this year?
I'd like to make the B1G (the Big Ten) conference team.

*The Big Ten Conference is the oldest Division I collegiate athletic conference in the United States.

How about your swimming goals for the next 5 years?
I'm hoping to attend Olympic trials, place top 8 at B1G championships, and be a NCAA Champs qualifier.

What motivates you to pursue these goals?
If I train one day, I don’t want that training to go to waste, and I want to keep the momentum going. What I put into training the day before really motivates me.

Do you have any pre-race rituals that you swear by?
I always say to myself "Kick, Power, Streamline". Also make sure I have some fruit and snacks in my bag.

What meal do you love, but can't tell coach Bill Dorenkott you indulge in every now and then?
Pizza and pints of ice cream!

If you could compete anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
I'd choose China because I’ve always wanted to visit, and have never had the opportunity.

What are your main interests away from training and competing?
Sneakers and streetwear.
