PERSONAL
The 6-8 freestyle specialist was born in Split, Croatia, on January 19, 2004… Planned major heading into his first year at LSU is finance… Has four siblings named Kate, Luce, Mare, and Sime; his parent’s names are Lovre and Ivana… An interesting fact: He can break an apple in two with his hands and despite his height, he doesn’t play basketball… He chose LSU because: “I have several reasons but the main reasons are that I will be surrounded by the best athletes in the world and knowing that I should improve a lot because of the incredible athletic culture I am surrounded by. The second main reason I get to work with Coach Bishop and the best assistant coaches in the sport. I spoke with them a lot of times and they seem to be really great people. Also they have coached Olympians and know their job very well. Outside of swimming, I will get a world-class education at LSU and I am excited for the new classes.”
