renton resident Mia Teifer, who attends St. Mary Catholic Central High School in Monroe, recently signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Wayne State University and be part of the women’s swimming and diving program at the school.
Teifer was one of six Michigan students who last month joined the program, which is headed by 19-year head coach Sean Peters.
“We are very thrilled about getting not only the number of women signed, but about the quality of each individual,” Peters said. “I believe the swimmers that committed to (WSU) are going to make an instant impact and certainly provide help in areas of need. We also signed a couple really top-notch divers. It’s only going to enhance an already excellent female diving program.”
Teifer, a diver, has been a four-year letter winner at St. Mary under head coach Sam Randazzo. She earned all-state first-team accolades in 2012, 2014 and 2015, and helped lead her team to second-place finishes in the Huron League both last year and this year.
In 2012 she was voted the Region Diver of the Year. She also competed at the Division 3 state meet the last three years and was selected as diving MVP all four years, was elected a team captain her senior year and was a scholar athlete.
She is the daughter of Christina and Terry Teifer.
