The College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) has recognized Elios Briand as the Men's Tennis Student-Athlete of the Week. Carthage's graduate student was honored following a successful week where he achieved a 4-0 record in conference matches. His performance significantly contributed to the Firebirds' victories against Millikin and Illinois Wesleyan.
Briand hails from Cestas, France, and played a crucial role alongside his playing partner, Myles Krzewinski. The duo defeated Millikin's Cole Phillips and Theodor Wolf in #1 doubles with a dominant 6-1 score. Later, Briand secured a win over Phillips in #3 singles with a score of 6-1, 6-1.
In Bloomington, Briand and Krzewinski continued their winning streak with a 6-2 triumph against Ian Turnbull and Benjamin Vigneri from Illinois Wesleyan. Briand then moved to #2 singles, where he defeated Vigneri 6-2, 6-1.
Elios Briand joins a list of student-athletes honored by the CCIW this year, including Clayton Maack from Millikin on April 8 and Matthew Sengphommachanh from North Central on April 1. Other notable mentions include players from Carroll, Carthage, and Millikin.
