A high jumper on the men’s track team, Skyler Mott ’25 is involved in numerous entrepreneurial ventures ranging from a chess nonprofit to a storage company.
Skyler Mott ’25, looking to finish his collegiate career strong, kicked off his senior track and field season tied for first in the high jump in two events, reaching a mark of 1.91m at the Fast Times Before Finals at Lehigh’s Rauch Fieldhouse and 2.05m at the Penn Select hosted by the University of Pennsylvania. Following the latter event, Mott was ranked #40 on the 2025 NCAA DI Indoor Track and Field Performance List for the men’s high jump.
But as focused as he is on the track, Mott has become fully invested in his entrepreneurial pursuits with numerous projects, including Motts Gambit, a nonprofit chess foundation, and Mountain Movers Storage & Co., a storage company specifically designed for college students. He’s also CEO of Markit Athletics, a company that aims to improve track and field from the athlete and viewer perspectives through innovative products that help represent athletes' identities.
