DAY 1 RESULTS | DAY 2 RESULTS
ATLANTA – The Gators added seven titles to their win total on the second day of the Georgia Tech Invitational, ending the day with both the No. 9 men (807 points) and the No. 16 women (610 points) in second place.
Florida swept the 800 free relay on both sides. The A-team of Amelia Maughan, Kelsey Dambacher, Savanna Faulconer and Niki Urquidi won it for the women in 7:13.20, while the men's A-relay of Jan Switkowski, Maxime Rooney, Mark Szaranek and Mitch D'Arrigo touched first in a B-cut 6:21.88 (Switkowski led off with a B-cut 1:35.10 split).
Rooney and Switkowski contributed individual titles of their own as well. Rooney finished the 200 free in a B-cut 1:34.82, while Switkowski placed first in the 400 IM with a B-cut 3:44.45.
Caeleb Dressel tacked on his third individual title of the meet with a win in the 100 fly. His 44.86 time gave him an NCAA A-cut, his second of the weekend after he led off yesterday's runner-up 200 free relay squad in a quick 18.73 (that A-relay also earned an A-cut as a team).
Emma Ball and Amelia Maughan won the women's first two individual titles Friday. Ball touched first in the 100 back at 52.53, a B-cut, and Amelia Maughan helped sweep the 200 free for Florida in a B-cut 1:45.68.
Florida's divers continued their strong performances, earning points for top-10 finishes in the 1-meter for the women and 3-meter for the men. Brooke Madden placed third in the 1-meter with 282.30 points, and Teya Syskakis took the ninth-place spot with 254 points. Abby Howell also contributed three points to the team total with an 18th-place finish (242.15 points) in the event.
On the men's side, Samuel Smith also placed third in the 3-meter with 361.35 points, and Dylan Power also grabbed a top-10 spot with 315.15 points and an eighth-place finish. Dalton Goss gave the men five points with his 16th-place finish (285.50 points).
GILLOOLY'S TAKE ON DIVING
"As expected, the team was a little better on the second day after getting settled in, especially the freshmen. They are really getting used to competing on this level. Although we have a long way to go, I am very pleased with everyone's progress to this point. Brooke Madden is really coming into her own on the 1-meter board and is gaining confidence with every meet. It was also a very gutsy performance by Sam finishing third despite still battling illness. He is certainly battle-tested, and that will pay off later in the season."
The Georgia Tech Invitational concludes Saturday with prelims beginning at 10 a.m. Live results can be found on ramblinwreck.com, and results will also be updated throughout the day on Twitter at @GatorsSwimDv and posted in full at the conclusion of each day of competition on FloridaGators.com. Each day will also be streamed live on WatchESPN.
