FOREST, Va. – Emory & Henry College junior Blake Madaris has been selected as the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Men's Swimmer of the Week, ODAC officials announced Monday. It marks the first time in program history that an E&H men's swimmer has earned weekly recognition from the league.

The Acworth, Georgia native won three individual races and added an exhibition victory in the 200-meter medley relay (2:08.89) as the Wasps dominated Ferrum by a 104-7 score.

Madaris got his day started with a victory in the 200-meter individual medley, stopping the watches in 2:44.71. He then went back-to-back later in the meet for a pair of individual wins, touching the wall first in the 100-meter backstroke (1:15.96) and clocking a 5:17.00 in the 400-meter freestyle.

Emory & Henry will host King (Tenn.) University on Friday, February 5 at 7:00 p.m. Fans are reminded that per ODAC policy, spectators are not permitted at indoor events for the spring 2021 semester. Everyone is encouraged to follow the action online at www.GoWasps.com/live.
