Standing out without a Rat Race

I just started my summer internship and it's been great so far. I'm in a small team of 2-3 interns and MD. Because of this, us interns are getting a good deal of work and exposure to deals and its been a great experience. I've become friends with all of the interns and we decided we will do the work together and send it as if it is collective. However I recently realized I am somewhat carrying the team and spend a lot of time teaching the other interns. I like the fact that I am collectively working with them as I value having a team that gets work done, but it does get annoying that my work isn't standing out since I am doing the most but that isn't being recognized since sometimes the other interns will say "yeah let me send this one out". It's clear they don't want to be left behind, but I do hope to stand out.

How can I stand my ground and ensure I am getting recognized for my work without sacrificing the bond and team-effort our team has.
