FEDERAL WAY, Wash. -- The University of Florida men's and women's swimming teams were well represented by former Gators in Day Three competition at the USA Swimming AT&T National Championships in Federal Way, Washington, on Saturday night inside the Weyhauser King County Aquatic Center.
Three former swimmers, who previously donned the Orange and Blue, posted Top-10 finishes in tonight's finals session.
Elizabeth Beisel again led the group in the preliminary session, swimming to a second-place finish in the 200-meter backstroke. Later in the finals, Beisel, a two-time Olympic medalist, finished fifth overall with a time of 2:10.77.
Seven-time Gator All-American Conor Dwyer also had a strong presence in the prelims, posting a sixth-place showing in the 100-meter freestyle. The 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist repeated in the finals, touching out at the 49.18 mark for sixth again.
Two-time Olympian Sebastien Rousseau registered a third-place finish in the 200-meter butterfly to cap Saturday's prelims. Rousseau, who took part in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, finished fifth in the finals with a time of 1:59.36.
The Blue and Orange will be back in action from December 15-20, when the Gator divers take part at the USA Diving National Championships in Federal Way, Washington.
