MK Clancy — her first name comes from an unconventional shortening of Mary Catherine to Mary Kate — isn’t one to enjoy an empty schedule.
She is an athlete on the school’s swimming team, competing in the butterfly, backstroke, and individual medley while often posting times that are among the Toreros’ best at meets.
She is a junior at the University of San Diego whose performance in the classroom was good enough to garner recognition as a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Scholar Athlete last year.
This year, she also happens to be a politician, having been elected as Associated Students’ (AS) first Athletics Chair, a newly-created position tasked with bridging the gap between the student body and the school’s athletics department.
