St. Thomas Academy

Jr., Golf

Sienko has his sights set on a top-10 finish in the boys' golf state tournament later this spring.

The best movie I've seen in the past year: "The Dark Knight Rises."

Three words my friends or teammates might use to describe me? Energetic; funny; kind.

What are your three favorite apps? Twitter; GroupMe; Tinder.

Who do you like to follow the most on Twitter, and why? Bubba Watson because he is a lefty like me (sorry, Phil Mickelson).

At my first varsity practice, I felt … scared and out of place. I was intimidated by the seniors.

What did you work on most prior to the season? My short game and improving my swing.

Favorite meal prior to a meet? Coca-Cola and Skittles.

How do you balance school and sports during the year? I don't. I try to stay on top of my grades as early as possible. I've learned that with playing a sport, I always have to look ahead at my school schedule and manage my time as best I can.

Who is your favorite college or pro sports team and why? The Minnesota Gophers and Wild. Even though I'm not on a hockey team anymore, I like to keep up with other teams and watch hockey.
