FULL SCY MEET RESULTS

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – In Saturday's half of its two-day double-dual meet, the Florida men (1-4) were swept by Indiana 204-77 and Texas 182-99, with the women (1-4) also losing 183-98 to Indiana and 191-85 to Texas.

Although today's races were in a short-course-yards format rather than yesterday's long-course-meters format, Florida won the same events across the two days.

The Gators again swept the 200 IM. Mark Szaranek repeated on the men's side, touching out at 1:46.48, while Kay Sargent took the title for the women at 2:03.85.

UF's women swam a different lineup for the 400 free relay, sending out Sherridon Dressel, Amelia Maughan, Elisavet Panti and Kelly Fertel to win at 3:26.31. The B-team of Kelsey Dambacher, Mollie Pulte, Tori Bindi and Bella Garofalo finished second at 3:28.35.

In the 200 free, Jan Switkowski's time of 1:36.24 passed the NCAA B-standard. He (1:48.49) and Mark Szaranek (1:46.48) also passed the B-standard in the 200 IM.

In the diving well, the men and women switched events, with the men competing on the 3-meter springboard and the women competing on 1-meter. Samuel Smith, who finished sixth with a score of 322.90, passed the NCAA-qualifying mark of 320 points.

Next, Florida opens its SEC schedule at Georgia (1-0 M, 1-0 W) on Friday, Oct. 28 at 11 a.m. SEC Network + will carry the meet.

TROY'S TAKE ON SWIMMING
"We certainly had our hands full with two very good and focused teams again today. We responded well in some areas and not as well in others. This will provide us with some good areas of weakness as we address the next training cycle."

GILLOOLY'S TAKE ON DIVING
"It was a great experience for this young team, up against some of the best, not only in the NCAA but in the world. We held our own. I believe we leave here a much better team when we arrived."
