Elkhart, IN – The Men's Swim Team competed at the NAIA Swim & Dive Championships in Elkhart, IN over the weekend, and were able to finish 24^th overall in the event.
 
The team took two swimmers, Isaiah Porritt and Jackson Lee, to the meet, which was the first appearance for both swimmers.  Both took advantage of their first opportunity.  Porritt set a new personal best in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 56.57, and Lee would set a new personal best and program record in the 200 Freestyle with a time of 1:42.37.  The two combined for six events in the three-day meet gathering valuable experience as they now turn their sites to the 2025-26 campaign. 
 
Thoughts from Head Coach Brad Hering 
 "Resilience is a rare gift for any team. After great performances at GSAC conference and the PCSC conference 2 weeks ago, our men and women displayed amazing resilience throughout the four-day NAIA National Swimming championship in Elkhart, Indiana!

Our men set 4 new school records!!  We are so proud of everyone's character and unity.

Praise Jesus for His gifts and His powerful grace! Special thanks to Pastor/ coach Travis and his team support!"
