Joel Ax<\/strong>, a 2017 graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design (Ga.),\u00a0virtually ran the table while competing for SCAD at the NAIA National\u00a0Championships. In his four years, the 29-time All-American from Idstein,\u00a0Germany won 11 individual and seven relay NAIA titles while setting six\u00a0championship records. He was also named the 2016 and 2017 NAIA Male\u00a0Swimmer of the Year.<\/p>\n

He holds five individual school records in the 50-100-200-1000 yard\u00a0freestyles (19.87, 43.56, 1:34.89, 9:14.57) and 200 fly (1:48.57), and is a part of\u00a0four SCAD relay records.<\/p>\n

The 6-1, 190-pound swimmer capped off his stellar career in March 2017,\u00a0winning five events: the 100 and 200 free (43.56 and 1:34.89, NAIA record) plus\u00a0the 200 medley, 400 and 800 freestyle relays. He also finished second in the 50\u00a0free (19.87) and the 200 free relay. During the three previous seasons, he won\u00a0NAIA championships in the 200, 500 and 1650 freestyles.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoel is the most decorated swimmer in SCAD\u2019s history,\u201d says his coach,\u00a0Bill Pilczuk<\/strong>. \u201cHe would swim anything we put him in, and would ask to do things\u00a0differently if he could make them more challenging or harder. He could have\u00a0swum D-I, but he had taken several years off from swimming. He saw that the\u00a0NAIA could help him focus his career. At SCAD, he majored in furniture design.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe loved competing in our conference and in our dual meets against the\u00a0NCAA teams. During his junior year, he decided he would give up alcohol and fast\u00a0food until after the German Olympic Trials. Several people at SCAD joined him,\u00a0which had a huge impact on our team\u2019s fitness level and dedication to the sport. He\u00a0would read philosophy books and mentor the younger athletes on the team in times\u00a0of personal crisis. He always led through example. It also gave the guys a huge\u00a0confidence on their relays\u2014knowing he would swim last took pressure off of the\u00a0first three swimmers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJoel could hit repeat times in sets to the second on 100s up to 300s and split\u00a0them exactly as discussed. This is one of the reasons he swam up to the 1650 for us\u00a0early on, even though he was a natural 200 swimmer. He would practice his race\u00a0strategies and play with his energy systems in distances to be able to always finish\u00a0with negative splits and strong kicks. I knew if he asked to put small paddles on, he\u00a0was going to step it up,\u201d says Pilczuk.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
