The Matthews, North Carolina native adds second-team all-state accolades following his All-ODAC Second-Team performance this year. Grillet finished fourth in the 200-yard breaststroke at the 2020 Old Dominion Athletic Conference Championships to improve his school record.

Additionally, Grillet was eighth in the 100-yard breaststroke, setting a new E&H best mark in the preliminaries and took 13th in the 200-yard individual medley with a new record time. He currently holds the school record at both breaststroke distances in both meters and yards, the 200-yard IM record and is part of four record-holding relays.

Emory & Henry finished seventh at the 2020 ODAC Championships in just its third year of competition. The Wasps continue to build their program from a grassroots perspective and are projected to return 100 percent of their points for the 2020-21 season.

Patrick Sullivan of Washington and Lee University was named State Swimmer of the Year. University of Lynchburg earned a pair of major awards with Patrick Hayungs claiming State Rookie of the Year and Hornet mentor Brad Dunn earning State Coach of the Yea accolades.
