“Olivia (Ginny) winning Athlete of the Week is just a reflection of the dedication, hard work, and joy she brings to the pool every day. She’s not just pushing herself to new lifetime bests but also uplifting her teammates along the way. It’s that drive to improve and the fun she finds in the process that makes her truly special.” said head coach Nathan Townsend.Olivia Elgin
Elgin, a sophomore from Ohio, holds the second-fastest time in the 200 freestyle after setting a new school record for two consecutive weeks, clocking in at 1:47.97 last weekend at Tulane. In addition to this impressive achievement, she recorded the second-fastest 500 freestyle in school history with a time of 4:54.49, placing her in the top eight in the Missouri Valley Conference. Both of these times qualify her for the CSCAA.
Olivia Elgin and the Little Rock swimming and diving team will be back in action on February 8 as they take on the University of North Texas in Denton, TX. Check out the full Little Rock swimming and diving schedule here.
