KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A quartet of wins leads to Elijah Holliman of Milligan (Tenn.) capturing the NAIA Men’s Swimmer of the Week honor. Over the course of two duals, Holliman clipped the NAIA provisional cut en route to four first-place finishes.

In the Inauguration Day Dual, Holliman collected a pair of wins, highlighted by clocking a 55.68 to win the 100-yard breaststroke.  That time is the fourth fastest time in the NAIA this season. The Hixson, Texas native followed that up touching the wall in 21.37 to edge out the competition in the 50-yard free.

Holliman also added a pair of wins against Mars Hill. He opened the meet clocking a 2:02.68 in the 200-yard breaststroke, which is the third fastest time in the NAIA this year.  Holliman capped off his week by pulling away from the field and clocking a 1:52.31 to win the 200-yard IM, which is the second fastest time in the NAIA this season.

Milligan returns to the pool on Thursday, November 19, when they travel to Columbus, Ga., taking part in the Small College Championship Cup.
