Mark Skogen is probably best remembered as the most prolific scorer in Viterbo basketball history.

Regarded as one of the premier basketball recruits in the state after guiding his high school team (Onalaska) to a state championship season, Skogen gave proof of his early promise with 30 points in his first game in a V-Hawks uniform. From there, Skogen went on to finish his career at Viterbo as the all-time leading scorer with 2,027 points.

Skogen also set five new school records including most three-pointers made (320) and most free throws (287). The sharp-shooting guard led his team to three conference championships in his four years at Viterbo.

Skogen's hard work and talent, both on the court and off, earned him many honors including NCBT All-American twice, NAIA All-American Honorable Mention and All-Conference three times. He was named MCC Player-of-the-Year his senior year. Skogen is only one of two players at Viterbo whose jerseys have been retired.

Skogen also excelled in baseball. As an outfielder, third baseman and catcher on the baseball team, Skogen had a career batting average of .292 in three seasons at Viterbo.
