Fall Sports Issue: Water Polo — Team hopes for a great year ahead

UNM student-athlete Mason Burks sat across the table smiling, as he recounted some of the moments he spent during his time in the pool playing water polo. Burks, who was already acting as the Academic Support Chairman for his fraternity, working as a lifeguard and an active member of Students for Sustainable Drug Policies, was also nominated to be the president of the Water Polo Club this past summer. “I didn’t have much of a choice in the matter,” he said. “I guess the team figured I had the most experience amongst the group.”
