Men's Swimmer of the Week: Luigi Maciel da Silva, Missouri State
Luigi Maciel da Silva was dialed in for Missouri State's victory over UIC in a two-day dual meet to wrap up the Bear's home slate for the season. He opened the meet last Friday by contributing to a Bears' win in the 400-yard medley relay (3:16.99). The Palmeira, Brazil native went undefeated in both breaststroke races, winning the 100-yard breaststroke (54.44) on Friday and the 200-yard breaststroke (2:00.78) on Saturday for his 11^th and 12^th individual event wins this season to lead the men's team. This is the first MVC Swimmer of the Week award for the former Division II Breaststroke national finalist and last year's Mid-American Conference 100 and 200 breast silver medalist.


Women's Swimmer of the Week: Olivia Elgin, Little Rock
Olivia Elgin has continued to elevate herself both in and out of the pool. For the second consecutive week, she has made history by breaking the 200 freestyle record while also lowering her own lifetime bests across the board.


Men's Diver of the Week: Harrison Nolan, UIC
Harrison Nolan earns his sixth MVC Men's Diver of the Week honors after a stellar showing at the two-day dual meet at Missouri State last weekend. The junior swept both events, highlighting by his first place on the three-meter board with a score of 417.90 points. Not only was that a personal-best for Nolan, but he also broke the pool record at the Hammons Student Center, previously set by Missouri alumni Carlo Lopez back in 2019. He finished the weekend with a win on the one-meter board as well, scoring 370.73 points. Nolan has now won 13 individual events over the season.
