Seahawks win 11 individual titles in Elkhart
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Marwane Sebbate of SCAD (Ga.) collected NAIA Men’s Swimming & Diving weekly recognition after a remarkable showing in the Bees double-dual meet against Milligan and Berry. Sebbate claimed first place in six of the seven events in which he competed and holds the top time in the NAIA in four different individual events.
The junior broke a pair of school records the Bees, as the leadoff swimmers in the relays. In the 400-yard medley relay, he led off with a school-record backstroke time of 48.03, and the next day, he set another school record as the leadoff swimmer in the 200-yard medley relay, clocking 22.12 for the backstroke. The Bees 400 medley relay time of 3:21.75 along with their 200-yard medley relay mark of 1:30.17 both top the NAIA.
Sebbate won all three of his individual events clipping the NAIA provisional cut. He opened the meet clocking a 1:38.70 in the 200-yard free, before touching the wall 20.02 to win the 50-yard free. The next day, the Temara, Morocco native capped off the meet by pulling away from the field and clocking a 44.18 to win the 100-yard free.
SCAD returns to the pool on Saturday, October 17, when they travel to Statesboro, Ga. for a tri-meet against Georgia Southern University and Converse University.
