O'Connell Center Natatorium Saturday afternoon. The meet was the last regular season meet for the Gators.
For the men's team, senior Ricardo Monasterio (Caracas, Venezuela/Institutos Edu. Asociados) led the team, winning two of the meet's events.

She won the 200-yard butterfly in a collegiate best time of 2:02.22 and lowering her provisional qualifying time in the process.
