The Gator women are coming off a third-place finish at the SEC Championships as they finished behind Georgia (1,450) and Texas A&M (1,166) for the second year in a row. UF's women won four SEC championships, including the 100-yard (Natalie Hinds), 200-yard (Amelia Maughan) and 1,650-yard freestyle (Jessica Thielmann) titles and the 200-yard individual medley crown (Theresa Michalak).
