BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Junior Olivia Small and first year Sam Reilly gave the St. Olaf College women's and men's swimming and diving teams a sweep of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Women's and Men's Swimmer of the Week accolades, as announced on Tuesday.

Small was named the MIAC Women's Swimmer of the Week for the second time in her career, while Reilly landed the MIAC Men's Swimmer of the Week accolade following his collegiate debut. Reilly is the first Ole to be selected as the MIAC Men's Swimmer of the Week since Tim Rizzo '23 on Jan. 24, 2023. Small was also honored on Feb. 4, 2025.

Small swept the titles in the 100-yard backstroke (56.61) and 200-yard backstroke (2:04.64) to lead St. Olaf to third place at the MIAC/WIAC Invite on Saturday. The junior's time in the 100 back is the fastest in NCAA Division III this season, while her time in the 200 back ranks sixth. 

Reilly won the 200-yard individual medley (1:55.86) among three top-10 swims for St. Olaf at the same meet. In his collegiate debut, the first year was also fourth in the 400-yard individual medley (4:16.59) and ninth in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:01.97), with his times in the 200 IM and 400 IM ranking 24th and 28th, respectively, in NCAA Division III this season.

The Ole women will compete against the College of Saint Benedict and St. Catherine University, while the men will face Saint John's University on Saturday, Oct. 31 at 10 a.m. at the Butler Center at St. Kate's.
