In the SwimSwam Podcast dive deeper into the sport you love with insider conversations about swimming. Hosted by Coleman Hodges and Gold Medal Mel Stewart, SwimSwam welcomes both the biggest names in swimming that you already know, and rising stars that you need to get to know, as we break down the past, present, and future of aquatic sports.
Matthew Marquardt is a senior on the Princeton swim team. Since the Ivy League canceled winter sports and he lost his season, Matthew decided he needed a new challenge. In fulfillment of a lifetime dream, Matthew is riding his bike across the country. By himself. He is on Day 10 now, and it’s expected to take 23 days total. To meet this time limit, he needs to cover over 100 miles a day. He started in San Diego and will end in Florida. His dad is driving the route crewing for him and staying with him in hotels each night.

Matthew is riding to raise money for pediatric cancer treatment through St. Jude. His goal is to raise $23,000 over the course of his ride, $1000/day.

Matthew Marquardt is one of the most extraordinary, fascinating and humble human beings I have ever met. Remember his name. Matthew is going to contribute incredible leadership and innovation to society. Wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes POTUS someday (though he is more focused on renewable energy initiatives and med school at this time). Congratulations on committing to such a herculean endeavor, Matthew. And, as always, thank you for aligning your actions, attitudes, values & behaviors with Princeton’s motto: “In the nation’s service, and in the service of all humanity.” You da man! GO TIGERS! 🙂
Go Matt!!
Go Matthew! what an incredible effort! You’re awesome
Way to Marquardt! You do us proud!
really a downvote on this? Certainly not the most controversial thing I’ve said today.
way to go Matthew
Unreal effort from the man himself. This man is biking more than the dudes in the Tour De France!
