Jeff Witwer, Student-Athlete of the Week
Class: Senior.
Grade-point average: 4.5.
Favorite subject: History.
High-school sports: Ice hockey (right wing) and lacrosse (attack).
What I’ve done lately: Returning starter is prepped for Friday’s night’s season opener (8:30) at The Edge against Chatfield.
Why I attend Mullen: For me, obviously, a lot has to do with my dad (Rob) who went here as did my older brothers (John and Robby); younger brother (Christopher) is a sophomore; and now my mom (Heather) works here … for me, Mullen has always been about community and it’s what has always drawn me to it.
The best thing about my sport: Hockey always holds a special place. I just think in hockey or lacrosse it’s about the team. Playing for the team and my friends is always what I’ve loved.
Planned career: I don’t really know.
In my immediate future: As far as hockey goes, I’m locking in on it and on school, getting used to that kind of in-season grind. I’ll be really busy every day, kind of getting into the flow of that.
