Knoxville, TN – (April 9, 2024)— ZIPS Car Wash (zipscarwash.com) revealed its latest “Car Wash Convos™” episode featuring Kiki Milloy, outfielder for the Tennessee Lady Volunteers softball team, today on YouTube. Kiki rides shotgun to former Tennessee student-athlete, Kenzie Couch, who returns for Season 2 as ZIPS’ host of the popular series. In her interview during a car wash at ZIPS in Knoxville, Kiki shares how her parents inspired her love of competing, her favorite books and more in her rapid-fire Q&A session inside the ZIPS tunnel.

“I had a great time working with ZIPS and I’m proud to be a part of this unique series that allows fans a glimpse into the off-the-field personalities of student-athletes at major universities across the country,” said Kiki Milloy.

Kiki’s athletic career follows in the footsteps of her parents, both All-American athletes while at Washington and an older sister, who participated in the Women’s College World Series three times while playing for Washington. A record breaker herself, Kiki led all Division I players in the ’23 season with 25 home runs on the season, which is a Lady Vols single-season program record. She is also Tennessee's career home runs leader, breaking the record with her 58th blast on February 23. Between March 2 and March 31, Milloy and the Lady Vols held a 20-game winning streak - marking the second consecutive season Tennessee has won 20 in a row.

“Kiki is a tremendous student-athlete but she also shines off the field on the SEC Academic Honor Roll every year and we’re excited to see her continued success as she leads her team to victory in her final season at Tennessee,” said Rebecca Latacz, Chief Marketing Officer, ZIPS Car Wash. “Vols Nation’s strong, supportive fanbase for every sport paired with the drive and determination of student-athletes like Kiki make our support of the university both engaging and fun at a very local level,” she added.
